A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!
Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
Reading, UK Canon R6 + 800mm, F9, 1/800s, ISO16000 An overcast autumn day is not the time for fast speeds and low ISOs, alas.
I'm reasonably sure this is a song thrush, but if someone wants to tell me its a mistle thrush go for it!
This is a very popular yew tree with birds and squirrels, but alas, no good places to sit with a clear view of the current feeding sites.
I know what you mean, but yew is more church graveyard than crown of thorns and/or pagan rituals!
