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.

Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)

Nikon D850, Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6

f/7.1, 1/2000s, ISO 800, 200mm

Every year, we have many pairs of starlings breeding in our locality. We have bird feeders in the garden all year round, but when the starlings bring their young to them, it is really hard to keep them filled.

As a consequence of their generally rowdy behaviour and competition for food, we often get squabbles breaking out. It also means I can get very close to them, as they are generally oblivious to anything but the food and their disputes.

So I don’t think EvilTed is actually all that evil…

My day job is running a blackops rendition site, photography is just a hobby 😉

Or it's the name of one of my cats, who is genuinely evil.
