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.
And a more confused shot of the squabbling
Prospect Park, Reading, UK Canon R6 + 800mm, F9 1/1000s, Exposure Bias +1.7 steps (grey day, so against a grey sky - never kind to bird shots!)
Since someone was asking EvilTed of file sizes, for comparison the RAW file here was 24,870KB, this JPG, cropped to about 1/4 of the area, is 2.47MB.
You did well to get the exposure on the wings, that would have been very easy to blow out against that sky.
TBH I think I just got lucky - I wasn't expecting nicely fanned out wing feathers, just wanted to see what I got pointing at a little ball of fury :)
