@kolombiken@front-end.social It’s a permanent hide, just a few miles from where I live, so I spend a lot of time there (and the other hide at this location)

@kolombiken@front-end.social I’m sat in a hide some 40 metres away. It was unaware we were there. The rabbits come even closer, and as long as we stay quiet, they are not bothered by us either

@JosephMeyer@c.im that takes me back to my childhood. (Watership Down).

@kolombiken personally I have none locally, these were from a recent trip to Yorkshire. As far as I know, Tree Sparrows have either a black or brown beak. (Unlike house sparrows who’s beak colour can change with the seasons). It’s not something I have thought about until you raised the question. But looking through other images of Tree sparrows,most are very dark.

@acm_redfox@jawns.club thanks. It’s the only shot I liked this evening. First time in ages I took no shots of birds.

@TragicNotCute@lemmy.world I’ve been here three years in November, and I’m still not quite sure how all this works… 😅 thank you for the kind words…

@TragicNotCute@lemmy.world thanks. Watermark may need a little tweeking so it’s not so “in your face”…

@profgrumpypants@midwest.social thanks. unfortunately i’d need to take the shot again to remove the foreground blur. Aperture was wide open, would need f10 to 14 to get the detail you ask for. With birds, I’m always wide open, to allow faster speed options.

@wurzelmann@mastodon.wurzelmann.at thanks. Just got lucky today.
