I heard it is now Superb Owl season? Very excited to see my lifer, Long-eared Owl (Asio otus), just in time! Bird was observed and photographed ethically, and we soon moved on to leave it alone. #birds #owl #longearedowl

A tiny friend! Gotta love the Long-tailed Tit. Despite being rather common songbird species, they are surprisingly hard to capture on camera. Their presence is often first heralded by their cheerful chirp-chirp calls, as they move and forage in family groups of 5-7. #birds

As flawed as Instagram was, it was still my favourite creative outlet for amateur photography. It'll take a while to figure out the message I'd like to share here on Bluesky. So far, I've enjoyed it, certainly more than the current state of other Meta platforms. Here's a small bird for a small step!

I used to think that birding was an escape from 'the real world'. Increasingly I realise that going to & learning from nature *is* the real world. When corrupt politicians & billionaires attack nature, scientists, vulnerable and abused people..., we need to connect with & defend them. #addBirder

Hello fellow humans of Earth, I'm definitely not these three birds in a raincoat 👀 🐦. Rather, I'm a current international Master of Biology student at the KU Leuven. I'd like to see if I can share my passion for ecology, conservation and birding here on Bluesky! #birds #birding #photography
