Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.

  1. This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

  2. This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

  3. When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

  4. Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

  5. Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

I‘m relatively new to birding and don’t have a car (or a driving license) so my lifer count isn’t all that high yet.

I started almost exactly a year ago (around the end of June 2022) and am now at just under 110 lifers. Most of these were seen around my neighborhood or in nearby towns. There’s a few nice nature reserves that are somewhat easy to reach by train, bus and bicycle and I’m intending on going there a bit more frequently once I get my new bike!

How about you? Oh and I’m from Bielefeld, a city in North-Western Germany.

Really been at it since 2018. 1223 on the life list. Fortunate to be able to afford international trips for birding. Live in Indiana, USA. https://ebird.org/profile/MTA0NzE5MA
