Always get a little anxious at this time of year hoping to see these wonderful birds again.

Bertie, and his partner Beatrice have succeeded for a second year in bringing me the most gorgeous babies. Last year I only first saw the fledglings in July, so I was rather ecstatic to see these two younglings this week!

Ive got a pair of Great Tits nesting in an owl watering can by my living room door, they dont seem worried by us and i can watch them from my chair.

I had originally thought it to be a Red Kite, but upon reflection, think it might be a type of Buzzard?

Camera for birds

This might not be allowed on here but I do a fair amount of birdwatching and always try and take pictures with my phone but unless they're static and sub 3m away they never really come out that great. So have decided to get a camera and thought someone here might be able to help advise. I've tried googling but every site recommends different cameras and most of them are over £1000. If anyone has any recommendations for something under £500 potentially? I have zero camera knowledge or experience

Feel so privileged to see them this weekend for the first time ! Apologies for the low res photo. Thought it might be a fun game

I checked the trees, they ain't there bro.

Also, if they slept in trees why don't you see owls catchin z's in the daytime?

Seriously, it's like they go to another dimension.

First time (knowingly) sighting one, so would appreciate ID confirmation. Location: Kirriemuir.
