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.

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

Lots of birds around today, few of them being at all obliging in positioning and stillness. So, instead of a single bird, a "best of". Prospect Park, Reading, UK.

Red Kite, Long-tailed Tit, unknown!, Blue Tit, Grey Squirrel (they get everywhere), Greater Spotted Woodpecker, Jackdaws, Jackdaw, Nuthatch, Wren, Tree Creeper, Goldcrest (honest! I saw it for some 30s darting here and there in some ivy), Robin, a silver's worth of Magpie and a Black-headed Gull.

Missed photoing - Pigeons (duh!), Crows, Blackbirds, Great Tits, Redwing and some duck under cover (of course).

Great collage! Almost didn't spot the tree creeper. Any idea which one it is, Short-Toed or Eurasian? I can never tell them apart, but considering the Short-Toed is more common (here), I usually just guess that.

In the UK, a Short-Toed Treecreeper is listed in my bird book as "European Vagrant <30 Records", so I'd be amazed if it wasn't just Certhia Familiaris".

And thank you!
