Wow, 300 photos in just 2 km? That's impressive! It's a testament to your wonder at nature and your keen sense of observation.
I bought a digital book to help me recognize birds, but it's extremely difficult because so many of them look alike. My next goal is to get binoculars and take the time to observe them. Nature is so beautiful, and I've neglected it for too long, whereas it's in the great outdoors that I really feel at home.
There are a lot of turtle-doves around my house, although fewer at the moment. I also see a lot of small birds, but I can't name them. I'd have to get around to photographing them.
Your photos are incredible, and I can imagine how difficult it must have been to make a selection to show us only a small part of the shots taken that day!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, I really appreciate the encouragement. It definitely takes time to learn how to differentiate the species, I use a combination of Google Lens and the RSPB website to help me identify them, hence why all of my links are to the charities website.
One of my rules for photography is take lots of photos, but delete most of them, it's a luxury that I didn't have with film but with digital the only cost is the time to weed out the bad photos.
Thanks again for your comment :)
Okay, now I understand. It's true that I never thought of using Google Lens or other applications to recognize birds.
But it's a good idea!
