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.

Another shot from a reserve in Yorkshire. A male marsh harrier that was hunting over the shallow lagoons and reedbeds.
Wow that’s a great fucking shot. Did he catch anything? :o
Cheers! Yes I saw it with something in its talons later in the afternoon. It was hunting moorhen chicks on the water, so that might have been what it was
Today is when I learned those particular planes are named after a bird!
