[gleaming fable]

Aussie x Husky

[lapis jetty]

i kinda doubt it because their toxin is mostly like pepper spray and should instantly shoo her away

[wintry tusk]

I’m boutta go pick one up and handle it

[lapis jetty]

wtf? the article i read about that stuff mentioned it as an "irritant toxin"

[gleaming fable]

Go to the dogpark outside my apartment. They apparently are ✨️ t h r i v i n g ✨️

[gleaming fable]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

With me I don't care

I've lived through enough, if a phthalo blue beetle is what wipes me out

Thats fine and well. When it comes to my dog, I'll be going scorched earth on them.

[gleaming fable]

Also saw this lad today

Same one I think we scared yesterday

And some plant hiding beneath a privacy shrub

And the good lad

And my almost son

[lapis jetty]

well, i can totally understand that, but needless panic won't help so i thought i look it up myself since there's not that many toxic animals around germany and austria, but yea, seems like the first article i read was kinda bogus, no clue how i even stumbled over some idiotic thing that praises them as aphrodisiac, while others definitely state it's deadly, but regarding dogs, it apparently has a horrible smell that should drive them off so that might at least reduce the risk to a certain degree

[gleaming fable]

Spanish fly is the aphrodisiac- which I knew historically

[lapis jetty]

the spanish fly is quite similar to the oil beetles in question tho and also contains the very same toxin

and even while it was used as an aphrodisiac it was quite fatal more often than not, especially if they took a too big amount

[gleaming fable]

Yis

[gleaming fable]

Also, less needless panic, more I like to be educated so I know what risks I'm walking amongst.

(Like the only safe flowers in the vicinity outside and dandelions and wild daisies. Everything else is toxic 🤣🤣)

[lapis jetty]

yea, wasn't meant as offensive, i just know enough people that outright start panicking if they hear about something being potentially toxic etc

[gleaming fable]

Nah, wasn't taken as such

[lapis jetty]

👍

[gleaming fable]

Husbro laughed at me when I brought in a massive handful of the pretty purple and white blossoms here

Identified them, and immediately yeeted them (as the cat was licking them)

[lapis jetty]

o_O

better check that cat then (hope it wasn't yours)

[gleaming fable]

It was, the dummy likes to nom plants.

He drooled a bit, but was otherwise okay

[lapis jetty]

ah wait, you meant the flowers, i thougt you were talking about the bugs for a moment there 😅

[gleaming fable]

No haha

There's very few bugs I like touching

[lapis jetty]

but seriously, the more you lean about stuff like that the more you gotta question the kinks of ancient folks, i mean that toxin causes rashes, bladders etc, but they used it as aphrodisiac non the less 💀

[gleaming fable]

Yuh

Any port in the ancient folks storm, yo

[lapis jetty]

^^

i mean it was at least rather badass to learn about vikings, until i came to the point how their berserkers basically overdosed on some shit that would enhance their agressive potential, sure, but also kill them even if they weren't wounded during the fight

[glossy grotto]

I don't know were to post this because irl hunting is restricted but this is at a restaurant near me and ive never noticed it

[gleaming fable]

Photography worka

[wispy ginkgo]

Wow try to ask if this rare or not cuz I saw a lot of people seeing it but I’ve never seen one

[glossy grotto]

I took it last night but my dad is friends with the grandson of the previous owner of that place but I don't know if he shot that or not but there are like six elk 12 pheasants and a 7x7 whitetail

[gleaming fable]

I've never seen an irl mela pheasant, and I have seen a lot of those boyos where I lived in NH

[glossy grotto]

I live in NE and ive never killed a pheasant I've had like one chance but I was walking through a thicket and almost tripped on barbed wire

[gleaming fable]

There were some massive open fields around my neighborhood, and not too far from my house when I was younger.

I think the biggest grouping I saw was like 12 or 15 of'em

And then like smaller groups as more people moved to the area

[wispy ginkgo]

pronghorns…. (all diamond except the small one)

[gleaming fable]

Scuse you, its a baby diamond

he aint gown his big boy horns yet

[wispy ginkgo]

Lol

It was my first ever kill that I taxidermized in the new account

[uneven nova]

my first kill was prob some small whitetail on layton

[frosty steppe]

my first kill was the starter female roe deer in herish

[uneven nova]

fair

[frosty steppe]

no actually I am joking

my first was springbok

and I don’t remember anything about it

it may be was male

[glossy grotto]

I've only ever seen like pheasants where I live but I was in SD for Christmas and while driving every 20 min or so there where like groups of eight or so along the road

[white onyx]

Since nowhere appropriate for this, so I just dump these here.

I name this "Intern Park Ranger" 😁

[gleaming fable]

Met a super cute slowworm

I love them

And a sweet baby snail

And of course some bee butts for the BeeGang

[uneven nova]

🗿

[lapis jetty]

aw man, been ages since i last saw one of them cuties 🥹

[amber flicker]

That almost looks like one of those small blind snake you see.

[gleaming fable]

slow worms are just a legless salamander - with itty bitty eyes

[amber flicker]

Okay. I've never heard of them

[lapis jetty]

well, over here in germany we usually call them "blindschleiche" basically blind sneaker or well, the other english term for them, blind worm^^

used to keep one as a pet when i was a kid, felt like a real snake charmer back then thanks to that lil buddy 😇

[verbal aspen]

I played for the first time on the New England reserve and within half an hour I often met specimens with at least a diamond rating. Is that any bug or is that normal
in this reserve?

[wintry tusk]

Definitely not normal

Have you installed mods?

[gleaming fable]

Considering I see enough text in the Ashen moose screenshot I assume you are in a Multiplayer map

Also, Those arent diamonds, those whitetail are all Great Ones

So in the least, you are in a hacked and cheated server

Or you yourself are hacking the game

[true ferry]

at least one of them was on multiplayer from what i can see

[gleaming fable]

Arguably the rarest bird, and a series of identical WT GO 😂

[true ferry]

no, rarest bird would be albino quail

[gleaming fable]

Ah, its a pheasant

[true ferry]

ive seen an albino quail posted here maybe, like, once?

ever

[gleaming fable]

I wasnt looking at its face

[verbal aspen]

No, I didn't install any mods. I played on a public multiplayer server.

Also, I don't think it was a standard situation . Maybe it was an event or something...
But it was interesting to meet such specimens..🙂

[true ferry]

no

it was the host using mods

specifically cheat mods

[gleaming fable]

There are no events that allow Great Ones to spawn all willy nilly. They are a 'best of the best' trophy for a reason - and usually require hours of grinding to even have the chance to spawn one.
Occasionally they can be a one off in an initial spawn - but rarely.

So, Unfortunately, definitely those you saw all were cheated into the game.

[verbal aspen]

🤔

First time I hear that players use cheats in the hunter..

[gleaming fable]

Happens pretty frequently

It's unfortunate that some people dont want to work for the rewards. A quick way of checking, if you are on pc, is to press 'i' when you're in a MP server, and if anyone is above level 60, they're hacking

[verbal aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/really-dude-seriously-kidding-me-gif-11751490

[lapis jetty]

that only shows a few very obvious folks tho, i recently met some lvl 15 dude that was going on how he stuffed an entire lodge with great ones (instantly ignored him for obvious reasons afterwards) 😅

i mean he apparently never played multiplayer and wanted someone to try it out, so i doubt it wasn't his own doing at least

[calm harness]

How many moose are in this Picture? (I just walked to a lake and found this)

[gleaming fable]

I see 0 Moose

[calm harness]

There are the groups

[gleaming fable]

I still see 0 Moose

[calm harness]

I am dumb

[gleaming fable]

I see roughly 20 bison

[calm harness]

I ment bison

[gleaming fable]

but zero moose

😂

[verbal aspen]

I found something else just like that. I think it's a new species.😉 My dog was shocked.🙃

[gleaming fable]

Are you on Layton Lakes, as a map?

[verbal aspen]

It was New England

[low plinth]

Noone

All boosoon

[twin bramble]

Love the tulips

They might be my favorite flower

[dense hamlet]

[low plinth]

One of our tulips bloomed

[sacred raft]

[junior bay]

[warped glacier]

You'd like this one too then

[junior bay]

yes

[warped glacier]

Same spot but looking right more out to the valley toward where the sun was actually setting

[junior bay]

Phone or camera? You should play with long exposures with waterfalls. It’s pretty fun.

[twin bramble]

phone

[hushed bough]

omg

how do you find them at day?

Strix aluco and athene noctua right?

[sacred raft]

Yesss they are those owls. Owls cab be found during the day, they will usually just be chilling in a tree making them hard to see

[low plinth]

what kind of flower is that one?

[slender terrace]

Looks like garden star of Bethlehem

[gleaming fable]

Star of Bethlehem for sure, idk if garden or another variant

they're growing next to the traintracks

[low plinth]

All the tulips is blooming

[low plinth]

Ah mosin

[glossy grotto]

I was fishing at a place where I was only aware of white crappie and I caught this after it chased it about five times up to the bank

[gleaming fable]

I'm not as versed in wild fish. What is it?

[wintry tusk]

Looks like another crappie to me

[gleaming fable]

Do you know what the little guy with the rough pokies on the forehead is called?

[wintry tusk]

Striped Shiner

[gleaming fable]

Do they all have lil forehead jabbies?

[wintry tusk]

Varies by species

You mean shiners in general right?

[gleaming fable]

I've just never seen a fish with head studs

[wintry tusk]

Fish are wierd

[dense hamlet]

Had to join the fishing pics crew.

[gleaming fable]

breh that fish looks like it weighs as much as my dog

[dense hamlet]

What does your dog weigh?

[gleaming fable]

haha, roughly 45lbs

I know the fish doesnt weigh THAT much

but frick thats a thicc boi.

[kind valve]

[rustic hare]

[dense hamlet]

Old one!

[rustic hare]

[dense hamlet]

Old fish.

[rustic hare]

oh yeah, huge mouth too

[low plinth]

Lake Oliver Nebraska if you have a chance fish it for carp

Bow fishing is pretty popular for them too

[kind valve]

If that wasn't over a thousand miles away I would take you up on that there's a number of good places around here just trying to find them is the problem

[amber brook]

There u go 😂🤝

[vivid raven]

Are you from nebraska or another state. I'm in eastern nebraska

[gleaming fable]

I have some raw garnet nubs inset in some shale from a hiking trail I used to frequent in NH

[small trout]

Fishing with the boys(they on the bank)

[small trout]

We caught two fish bro

[slender terrace]

[small trout]

Nope💀

A bluegill

[small trout]

Lil channel cat

[upper dune]

Oh ok lol

[frosty steppe]

omg I haven’t seen you in while

[eager flare]

Enjoy this photo taken from my phone, of the fields beside our house, second one was from yesterday

[gleaming fable]

Beautiful. Look at all those allergens 🥲

[low plinth]

nice

[dense hamlet]

Crazy! The sky looks exactly like someone photographing out of a car😆❤️

[fringe plank]

Is this a rare?

[lapis jetty]

ngl, that looks kinda sick to me o_O

[fringe plank]

Ngl?

[lapis jetty]

not gonna lie

[fringe plank]

Oh i think its loosing its winter coat

This one also did

Wrong format

[lapis jetty]

yea, i'm familiar with shedding winter fur, but the pink shade looks kinda unnatural to me

[fringe plank]

I tink its an albino

[gleaming fable]

Pink makes me think albino, but unsure if the dots on the side are dirty or color

Could be a high percentage white pied

[low plinth]

I'm not sure. Reindeer are one of those weird ones where they get all sorts of colors when they're in captivity.

[fringe plank]

Those are wild

[low plinth]

losing it's winter coat I believe

[low plinth]

oooh

well I no idea then

They look like a common fur coat?

[fringe plank]

They live on the mountains of my country but ones a year the tribes of the region capture all for a day and kill a couple thousand

But the breed live eat and everything in the swedish wilderness

[low plinth]

Norway?

oh

Sweden

[fringe plank]

Sweden about 50 km from norway

At this mountain they live

[low plinth]

neat

I remember there being something that the native peoples whole lives revolve around the reindeer

and then the government fucked them over

[fringe plank]

I know its pretty bad im vegan but parts of my family eat them sometimes but in this region the tribes make a bit if money with tourism

[low plinth]

ahh okay

[fringe plank]

@low plinth the problem is that the swedish hunters want to hunt the week whete the raindeer need to be captured in the kilometers around the reindeer where the sami are

[low plinth]

oooh

I see

[fringe plank]

And that makes a beef between hunters and tribes one tribe got the rite too determin ho hunts on their land and that got a massive backlash

[gleaming fable]

I mean, but it's their land - they SHOULD get to choose who can and who cannot hunt it if they are not of the tribe or otherwise connected

[fringe plank]

It is technicaly the state its only the land the tribe always lived one but they never bought it or anything

The land is double as big as berlin which is in sweden pretty small but still big it isnt just a little plot

[glass star]

why tf is every bridge railing in serbia yellow?xd

Steel Challenge : Roundabout training in Parque Fernando😊

[tidal umbra]

I toke a picture of a rescue toad bro, a kid chucked it 30 feet for no reason so I went and “toke care of the kid” and helped the toad

[slender terrace]

He is forever in your debt

[tidal umbra]

I checked all his limbs for potential fractures or breaks and I can confirm bro probably hit his head and needs to chill for a bit

man who would do that

Chucking a toad?

[slender terrace]

Competitive toad chucking

New sport

[low plinth]

Toad is now ur best fren

[tidal umbra]

I released him

[low plinth]

terrible children

[tidal umbra]

Fr

Like teach your kids

When I have kids someday I’ll teach them to respect nature just has much as we respect eachother

[low plinth]

Manners, how to properly treat nature, etc etc

[tidal umbra]

The toad is probably okay.

[tidal umbra]

I may go look for that kid

Ehh

I wanna see his mother

Kinda corny

[low plinth]

How old was the kid?

I assume 6?

[tidal umbra]

I think 8-10

[low plinth]

ah

[tidal umbra]

And another kid was with him

I semi get it if it was a 6/yo

[low plinth]

Yeah

but like a 10yr old

should know

[tidal umbra]

Yeahhhh

[low plinth]

that frog has feelings and was just chillin'

[tidal umbra]

Yep

They are mating rn cause it has been raining for a while down in Houston

I hope to recover some tadpoles so I can Raise some

I did that was I was like 7

[low plinth]

[tidal umbra]

[low plinth]

Been raining a lot here too but haven't seen any frogs

[tidal umbra]

I wanna bullfrog hunt sometime

Seems cool

We need bullfrogs in Mississippi acres

[low plinth]

Like take those 3 prong sticks and stab them or catch them?

[tidal umbra]

Catch them, 22. Caliber. Fish them out

Me and my friend used my grandpas old BB gun once

And we saw like atleast 3-6 pound bullfrog

And we tried to shoot ‘em but the bullets didn’t go through

Lmao

[low plinth]

ah

Years ago when my dad was in either Georgia or Texas, I can't remember, he went hunting for bullfrogs and used this 3 pronged stick.

[severe bridge]

Spearing is fun

[amber flicker]

Oh frog gigging

[low plinth]

giggingingiginging

[wispy ginkgo]

Not bad at all

[dense hamlet]

Might aswell post this in here for the fishermen/fisherwomen.

[gleaming fable]

Good lord

[dense hamlet]

About the same as mine I think, got an english springer spaniel.

[uneven nova]

[dense hamlet]

Oh then mine defenitely weighs more.

😂

[gleaming fable]

I'd say she is #🦝︴pet-pics message

[gleaming fable]

Yours probably weighs close to mine

[dense hamlet]

do you fish? @gleaming fable

[gleaming fable]

Not in a veery long time. I enjoy seeing other people's success with it nowadays

[dense hamlet]

Even if you don't have success whilst fishing, it's still a great outdoor experience just sitting by the water. Watching kingfishers fly by, watch new-born birds follow their parents. Find rare plants and wildlife while walking around the bank. and enjoying the calmness and peace you're surrounded with.

[gleaming fable]

Wrong room jamo 🤣

[gleaming fable]

It's true, I like going out and about with my dog nowadays

[plush crypt]

looks like our reggie hes lylac

[gleaming fable]

Reggie reveal in pet chat when?

[plush crypt]

haha hes not ready for you lot

[gleaming fable]

I bet he's lovely.

[low plinth]

I won't judge. If anything I'd support it.

[amber brook]

[low plinth]

Cool. There is a pheasant farm for that here in Wyoming.

[amber brook]

[gleaming fable]

I love them - what kind are they?

[low plinth]

^^

I bet it's the common breed

[small spruce]

NICE

[gleaming fable]

Ringnecks? Probably.

But I just wanna see Lady Amherst and Golden ones

[low plinth]

I know someone who raises them

[gleaming fable]

And where are the photos of those sweet babies? 🥺

[low plinth]

I haven't seen her in a couple of years.

She takes care of all sorts of cool animals though. Large collection of spiders and snakes. Horses and peacocks.

[slender terrace]

Oh lil buddy one day you shall make a great meal

(Unless someone’s a really bad shot that is)

[wispy ginkgo]

Lovely

[slender terrace]

Can I get help identifying this bird? We don’t have them where I live and I just saw this one

Some kind of swallow is what I’m thinking

[wispy ginkgo]

Yeah that’s a swallow

[slender terrace]

Yeah just can’t tell what type

[amber brook]

dont have my camera w me sadly

[slender terrace]

Oh deer

[wispy ginkgo]

In my language we just call it “swallow”

[slender terrace]

Fair enough

[wispy ginkgo]

I think it’s a common swallow

[gleaming fable]

Is it in the rafters of a building? Because I'm thinking barn swallow

[slender terrace]

Yes

[wispy ginkgo]

The top one. “Rondine” means “swallow”

Don’t mind the math book under it 😂

[slender terrace]

Definitely a barn swallow

[wispy ginkgo]

Barn swallow?

[slender terrace]

Looked them up and it looks just like it

[gleaming fable]

They make their homes in the rafters of barns

[slender terrace]

Cuties

[gleaming fable]

I raised a nest of them for a few weeks when our barn cat killed the parents -

[wispy ginkgo]

Wow i didn’t thought they had a second name in English

[gleaming fable]

until some of the other nests hatched their babies and I was able to divide the 5 of them up

[gleaming fable]

Oh yeah, they get all sorts of names

[wispy ginkgo]

K Thx

[slender terrace]

This is a tee swallow it what we have where I live

Really adorable

Need to go looking for some at the bird sanctuary near my house

[low plinth]

so pretty

I love swallows so much

[gleaming fable]

Just took Keeonah for a walk - proceeded to find the Beaver mama and her baby 🙂

[dense hamlet]

Still in velvet now? Must be young.

[heavy arrow]

On the grind

[low plinth]

Idk what your making but it looks good

[somber hound]

silly stickbug i found

[lapis jetty]

guess one of it's legs didn't stick enough xD

[frosty steppe]

xd

[dense hamlet]

Almost didn't see him.

[gleaming fable]

Lil unicorn lad 😂

[dense hamlet]

We're calling him "middlefinger"

[gleaming fable]

It's perfect

[wispy ginkgo]

OMG where did u see him?

[dense hamlet]

In the tall grass.

[dense hamlet]

Roedeer doe.

[wispy ginkgo]

Lol, I mean what state?

Oh, but are they in a enclosure

?

[dense hamlet]

Noord-Brabant , The Netherlands.

[gleaming fable]

Lovely budgies~

But you'd be better off putting them in #🦝︴pet-pics

[swift nebula]

Just left KC

[vivid plinth]

gekoloniseerd

[dense hamlet]

You know your pfp is against the rules right?

[eternal marten]

bro that bird is majestic, ima draw that

[agile latch]

dude

why that pfp

[vivid plinth]

If it was mods would have said so by now

[haughty canyon]

It's in violation of Rule I, so please change it.

[gleaming fable]

I have messaged you, so - I would say the mods have reached out to you already

[dense hamlet]

[trail wing]

bird

it is a bird

[sacred raft]

Yes

[amber brook]

@wispy ginkgo same place few days ago

[wispy ginkgo]

Wow it looks really cool

[amber brook]

That place is kinda magical to me. Our family owns the land of and around this mountain. There's red deer, fox, hare and birds around in flocks and herds. The water is filled with brown trout. At the bottom there's a waterfall with a river that leads into the ocean where salmon and trout comes up. Just a magical place for fishing with both bait and fly-rod.

[wispy ginkgo]

I love the pheasant pic

[ivory iron]

Beautiful pictures dude. Love them

[dense hamlet]

@gleaming fable

In most channels he'sposted this.

[gleaming fable]

Thank you

[slender terrace]

Snake my buddy found

[gleaming fable]

sweet baby

[kindred mica]

The fishing life in Victoria

[low plinth]

they just leave dead sharks around?

and cut their heads off?

[kindred mica]

no we cook them

The fish and shark I catch

[low plinth]

ahh I see

What does it taste like?

[glossy grotto]

I thought the eagle was floating

[kindred mica]

Like shark and fish

[sudden sapphire]

Lol no i was moving alittle bit

[sudden sapphire]

🤣

[gleaming fable]

Just hovering, it's flight thrusters lowering it to the branch

[lapis jetty]

aren't sharks protected due to being endangered? 🤨

[low plinth]

Some. It also depends where

like in the US you can't kill them but else where you can

As far as I'm aware you can't in the US

but maybe I'm wrong

I know in australia it's a bit different.

[lapis jetty]

everything is "a bit different" in australia 😏

[amber brook]

cotton mouth?

[slender terrace]

I’m 90% sure it’s a plain bellied water snake

It’s head is not the right shape for a cottonmouth

Lillies finally flowered

Ignore the weeds I just got home from vacation

[amber brook]

what made me said it was a cotton mouth was the tail

and the head

[slender terrace]

Cottonmouth usually have a ridge over the sides of the head

And I think the bottom of the head is far to round

[amber brook]

i dont know i dont fuck with snakes a good one is a dead one😂

[slender terrace]

Noooo snakes are nice

[amber brook]

black racers aint bad they keep the coppers away

[slender terrace]

The water snake is like the most common thing confused with the cottonmouth

[amber brook]

water snakes are mean asses

[slender terrace]

If I could see it’s eyes I could be 100% sure

[amber brook]

i always thought cottons flatten there selfs out like that one

how its in that triangle shape

[low plinth]

me thinks it's a water snake doesn't have the right colors for a cottonmouth. Also the head of it looks more round.

yellow bellied water snake

cotton mouth

[spice river]

Looks like the snake my mom killed like 2 days ago

Are they common?

[slender terrace]

Water snakes are yes

[slender terrace]

Yeah but it’s a plain bellied since the state he lives in does not have yellow bellied

[slender terrace]

Looks tasty

I love shark

Dogfish aren’t as good as some of the others but those were still probably delicious

[low plinth]

I see

[kindred mica]

@slender terrace it is

[low plinth]

I love bears

3 cubs in total?

[storm yoke]

Yes

[wispy ginkgo]

Lovely

[dense hamlet]

Proper photographs, love the low angle.

[small spruce]

Eat it

[trail wing]

why is your name little earl now?

[low plinth]

You had to be there

[trail wing]

what happened did he lose a bet or something

[low plinth]

Nah, joke in a group.

[slender terrace]

Don’t worry about it

Just let little Earl live in peace

[sacred raft]

Found this beauty today

[fleet bluff]

Legit on the back porch

[thorny nimbus]

free dinner am I right 😉

[trail wing]

for the bear that is

[wispy ginkgo]

The blackbird looks so scared 😂

[gleaming fable]

It was debating to stay 'hidden' or fly

there were like 4 or 5 congregated on the fence and I had my dog off lead

I leashed her and 3(?) of them booked it and he was left like a deer in headlights

[low plinth]

[sacred raft]

Asperitas usually follow after Convective Storms

[low plinth]

"You got some snaccs?"

[bronze crag]

Did you made them with a camera, or your smartphone?

[zinc glade]

yes

[visual atlas]

Took them with my new camera. It was a great little tester for me to fiddle around with settings and such.

[gleaming fable]

Not in the slightest haha

[gleaming fable]

They came out so good

[low plinth]

is the goat looking thing a species of ibex?

[low plinth]

at a park?

[bronze crag]

Yea

[low plinth]

neat

[visual atlas]

No it is a Roan Antelope they had a small herd of them housed with some Scimitar-Horned Oryx in the vehicle safari. They were mostly all led down chilling but it allowed for some nice shots of them!

[low plinth]

I see

Quite cool

[trail wing]

pretty bords

[upper dune]

Wabbit

[gleaming fable]

the fifth rabbit photo 😍

[wispy ginkgo]

Yeah I know it’s really funny

I like the 4th a lot

[gleaming fable]

4th and 7th are really well timed

[wispy ginkgo]

The 7th?

It was only standing in that one

[gleaming fable]

Yeah, but rabbits move a lot

I will never not love a clear shot of a rabbit

[wispy ginkgo]

Oh, that one was different. It saw me and he was standing right there. After that I tried to scare it trying to get some pics while it was moving, but it wasn’t scare at all!!

[gleaming fable]

bahaha

[hollow bloom]

Rattlesnake season is fun😅

[low plinth]

Oof I feel you

[sacred raft]

I present the flying 🥄 !! This is the Eurasian Spoonbill :)) it's named that because its beak looks like a spoon!

[trail wing]

whats the difference

[sacred raft]

Mine flies and is wayyyy cooler

[trail wing]

no mine does

[low plinth]

lol

[tacit isle]

Zoo pics

[wispy ginkgo]

Tell me the lenses and the luminosity plsss

Cooool pictures btw

[low plinth]

Is that a prairie dog?

[tacit isle]

What is luminosity?

Yeh

[low plinth]

Homie is all streched out

[tacit isle]

Yeh😂

[gleaming fable]

LOOK AT THAT LORIKEET

[low plinth]

that the colorful parot?

[tacit isle]

Yeah

[low plinth]

Neat. How many species of parots are there?

[gleaming fable]

Yes! They are fruit/nectar eaters.. so imagine a bird on a constant sugar high

[low plinth]

Huh neat

[gleaming fable]

And they have bristle tongues!

[low plinth]

Woah

Like cats?

[gleaming fable]

No

Like paintbrushes

Not as dense, but like that

Hold I have a pic of one I raised somewhere

[wispy ginkgo]

Nothing 😅. Just say to me the lens

[tacit isle]

Wait I can’t right now

Tomorrow I can say it probably

[tacit isle]

The lens is: sigma APO DG 70-300mm

These where in my backyard

[gleaming fable]

Eurasian Collared Dove, or Mourning Dove?

Also, looooove the lil fat sparrow

[tacit schooner]

Some deer I met this week

[tacit isle]

Eurasian collared dove

[gleaming fable]

Love it

[wispy ginkgo]

Finally I took a pic to this mf

[wispy ginkgo]

Marsh tit or alpine tit? (I dunno if they are the correct names cuz I used google translate 😂)

[gleaming fable]

Im not sure if they're the same bird or not

but lovely photo

[wispy ginkgo]

They are different birds. This is an alpine tit cuz it has a white curve near its neck

[sacred raft]

where did you take these?

[wispy ginkgo]

Alpine tit

[wispy ginkgo]

Marsh tit

[wispy ginkgo]

Nord Italy, Lombardy. Trivigno SO

[sacred raft]

Cuz 1 also looks like the Coal tit

or the willow tit

[wispy ginkgo]

I’ll search it

No it’s not a coal tit cuz it doesn’t have the white spot on the head

I dunno if it is a willow tit cuz it seams identical to the alpine tit but the name in my language is translate in great tit

So idk

[gleaming fable]

hmm hang on

lemme download the pic and use my app

[wispy ginkgo]

My app says marsh tit

[gleaming fable]

I use Merlin and I try to let it listen to the birds singing so that later on when I'm id'ing the photos, I have a reference of "what was singing" when I took them

[wispy ginkgo]

So it’s a willow tit?

[gleaming fable]

I dunno. It didnt bring up marsh tit in Merlin - but if you got Marsh over Willow

¯_(ツ)_/¯

It says they're both 'rare'

[wispy ginkgo]

Strange. In my language there is no distinction between alpine tit and willow tit

[wispy ginkgo]

Rare?

[gleaming fable]

Yeah, see in the screenshot I sent - it has a red dot and Rare?

means it's not often seen in the region, from what I understand

[wispy ginkgo]

U mean the American region or my region (Italy)?

*it

[gleaming fable]

Italy

[wispy ginkgo]

That’s strange

[gleaming fable]

I only have EU and EUW regions installed on the app cos of where I'm located

[wispy ginkgo]

Oh ok

Ok Thx

[gleaming fable]

Yeah ofc, sorry I couldnt be more help. Willow or Marsh, it's still a cute lil guy

[wispy ginkgo]

Maybe willow tit means “cincia alpestre” in Italian? Cuz I used google translate to change the name in English and maybe it do it wrong

[gleaming fable]

MAybe? I dont trust Google translate with grammar and such, but its usually okay for general meanings

[wispy ginkgo]

Ok

My book says is the bottom one (don’t mind the top left one)

And what snake is this? 😅

[gleaming fable]

Uhhhh

Looks like a colubrid base on head shape

Look like this?

videos a bit blurry cos its so quick

or this?

[sacred raft]

I just did some research, they are the same bird

[gleaming fable]

bless. Thank you for figuring that one out haha

[wispy ginkgo]

No it wasn’t this yellow

[wispy ginkgo]

Nope, it didn’t have orange eyes

[gleaming fable]

hmm

Its hard to tell haha

it looks colubrid - but

[wispy ginkgo]

Oh wait I also have a pic

[gleaming fable]

oh yes

give

[wispy ginkgo]

But I have to download it cuz it’s on my camera

Wait a moment

[gleaming fable]

can do

[wispy ginkgo]

Ya know? Maybe it’s this one

[sacred raft]

is it a Zamenis longissimus?

one of these?

this one is less yellow

same species

[wispy ginkgo]

No i font think it’s the same as mine

[sacred raft]

It's the same snake

[gleaming fable]

different color variation -

[sacred raft]

Ye

The Aesculapian snake or Zamenis longissimus

Colubridae family

[wispy ginkgo]

Almost done with the pic

I think it was what u guys told before

[sacred raft]

Yepp

[wispy ginkgo]

It’s that one?

[sacred raft]

Looks like it ye

[gleaming fable]

Agreed

[wispy ginkgo]

Ok thanks a lot!

[gleaming fable]

Of course~!

[sacred raft]

my site claims 95% chance it's that so yep

[wispy ginkgo]

What’s the name of that site?

[gleaming fable]

Aesculapian Snake - Colubro di Esculapio or Saettone - Zamenis longissimus

Here's its names for you, as well

[sacred raft]

https://observation.org/

[wispy ginkgo]

It’s the Italian name?

[gleaming fable]

the middle one

[wispy ginkgo]

Thanks!!!

[sacred raft]

I usually go to the site and add sighting, all you have to do is upload a pic and then pin point the location you seen it and it helps look for the species

[wispy ginkgo]

👍

@sacred raft how can I upload a pic?

I already created an account

[sacred raft]

Top left ir should say something in green

[wispy ginkgo]

Nope

[sacred raft]

The three strips, press it

Top right

[wispy ginkgo]

I can only post an animal but without the pic. Also it doesn’t “guess” what animal it is

Oh Wait

I found it

Only a think @sacred raft: I must type a species name or I can’t do anything

What can I do?

Ok i did it

[ivory iron]

I started learning about photography and today was my third time outside with my camera. I took some pictures that i rly like.

[gleaming fable]

I wanna kiss those swans on their foreheads SO BAD.

They're so cute

[ivory iron]

They were pretty friendly

[wispy ginkgo]

There’s no way that it is ur third time taking pics. I’m taking photos for a year and I can’t take pics as good as yours

[ivory iron]

the birds were very close 😅

[wispy ginkgo]

Yeah but what lenses did u use?

[wispy ginkgo]

And I think it’s also ur skill

[ivory iron]

tbh i took 236 photos and i only like this 3 i was trying to save the other ones they are not super bad but they are not good either

[wispy ginkgo]

I think they are really cool! Maybe the next time use less ISO

But what lenses did u use? I’m trying to buy new lenses cuz mine are really old and pretty bad

[ivory iron]

dm?

[wispy ginkgo]

What does “dm” mean? 😅

[gleaming fable]

direct message??

😂

thats all I can think of

[wispy ginkgo]

Sorry I’m confused… why he/she has to say “direct message”?

[ivory iron]

so we dont have to have this disscussion in this chanel

u know let the people post pictures here and lets talk in private if u dont mind

[wispy ginkgo]

Ok 👍

[sacred raft]

Barn swallow

[amber brook]

shoot it with a 16 inch naval gun

[sacred raft]

Excuse me...? Why?

[amber brook]

[sacred raft]

Sorry not American enough. My option doesn't automatically go to G U N. And I'll have you know that this is a native and protected bird 🙂

[sacred raft]

Macro is so cool

[gleaming fable]

[sacred raft]

Why does everyone want me to shoot it

[slender terrace]

Well you are in a hunting channel 😂 also I’m pretty sure we were both just kidding

Server not channel

[haughty canyon]

Was about to say.

[sacred raft]

Doesnt automatically mean i should shoot this protected bird species 😂 ans ye i am in a hunting server for a GAME

[slender terrace]

They aren’t protected where I’m at as far as I know

[sacred raft]

They are here in the netherlands, its a native bird

[slender terrace]

Interesting

Farmers hate them around here 😂

They are pretty

[gleaming fable]

crazy how different areas in the world have different rules

[sacred raft]

I know they are invasive in america

[slender terrace]

I was just goofing around not trying to offend

[slender terrace]

Nope everywhere has the exact same rules

😂

[sacred raft]

America 100

[gleaming fable]

are you saying the internet has LIED to me?

[slender terrace]

Was talking to a guy yesterday that thought every state had the same fishing laws

Silly goose was really mad I ate a bass 😂

[gleaming fable]

Oh yike
