Wild Birds of Europe

[Levina de Ruijter]

Welcome to Wild Birds of Europe. This is a continuation of my old thread on POTN.
Europe in the title refers to the continent (so includes the UK). And no captive birds please, so no zoo pics!

So let’s post images and discuss.
And please tell us the species of bird, as not everybody always knows all birds, so it's nice if it's mentioned. Thanks!

I’ll start with a Great crested grebe with welcoming wings. Well, kinda…

Those are great, Patrick. Not an easy bird to get good photographs of, at least not when I'm out... LOL

I'll be back posting here in February and March. I can hardly wait. I'm counting the weeks. I'll try a test post from last Feb which I did post at POTN.

At least now there won't be any nasty remarks. Remember at where was it, Canon Rumors? LOL
We're home again, Phil!
