Anyone here for birdwatching? And maybe bird photography!

Anyone here for birdwatching? And maybe bird photography!

Hi, I know us birdwatchers can be pretty avid about what we do, so wondered if a thread for birdos could be a possibility. I’ve been birdwatching since I was 7 - my happiest memories from childhood are from Rotamah Island, when it was still owned by Birds Australia. I was a member, and one of my parents was allowed to accompany me to birdwatching weekends staying at the little house on the island. Happy days! 3 years ago I got a camera to take photos of birds. It’s my favourite thing to do. Here’s one I took near Bendigo of a New Holland Honeyeater, sorry the quality is severely downgraded by sharing here. What’s your favourite birdwatching place? Do you have a special place you go to watch birds? Please share!

@Shaz51 @Jynx It's dark outside and I think the neighbours cat is killing a 🐦. It's sad, scary 😲

I can still hear it. I don't know what to do?

Oh no @Just that's so distressing!! Could you pop outside and make a loud noise, try to scare the cat away?
