I finally managed to see a Little Ringed Plover (Flussregenpfeifer, lit. “River Rain Whistler) from up close! They’re so tiny and adorable, I love them! :-)
Got really discouraged because I barely saw anything in the nature reserve today but he really brightened my day. Thank you Plover!
I saw this adorable swift baby looking out of its nest today. Never seen one that wasn’t flying so this was a great sighting! :-)
Wagtails are always fun to watch! Here's a White Wagtail I saw on my morning walk hovering above the (honestly rather disgusting-looking) water with its mouth already full of insects.
Went for a walk and managed to take a photo of a bird I hadn’t been able to photograph yet: A Spotted Flycatcher!
Its German name, Grauschnäpper, translates to “Grey Snatcher” — probably because it likes snatching flies and other insects!
Ich habe schon darauf gewartet. Auch bei Mastodon passiert das gerne. Da werden dann komplette Instanzen (vor allem die großen wie mastodon.social) einfach komplett blockiert. Da werden sicherlich jetzt einige Benutzer von Lemmy abspringen - verständlicherweise, wie ich finde. Ich selbst bin ja auch auf Beehaw und folgen vielen Communities auf lemmy.world. Ich habe sogar selbst eine eigene Community dort erstellt! Vielleicht erstelle ich mir dann noch noch einen Account hier auf feddit.de.
I made !birding@lemmy.world if you’re interested :-)
And you’re right about Merlin! I never fully trust it either, but in this case I just used it to confirm that the call I heard was, indeed, a firecrest. I don’t hear them too often so I wasn’t sure. I ended up seeing it as well.
But I’ve had Merlin misidentify things before. It heard part of a Song Thrushes singing and thought it was an oystercatcher 😬
Edit: wrong link

I always take a walk around my office during lunch. Finally managed to see and also record a firecrest. Such a tiny but cool-looking bird!

That's one of the bugs.

Seeing a glowing (b)orb in the trees is always a delight! So here's a male Eurasian Bullfinch (Gimpel / Dompfaff in Germany) after just having preened, his feathers still slightly fluffed up.
He was sitting in a tree really far away, but spotting him was simple — so colourful! Saw him on the weekend in North-Western Germany.

Coole Aktion! Hätte mich damals auf jeden Fall angesprochen. Bin nur leider selbst ein paar Jährchen zu alt 😅
This frequently happens to me - I open the website and I am briefly logged in as another user as can be seen at the top right corner. It takes about a second and then I'm logged in as myself again. Managed to take a quick screenshot before it changed back.
The website theme is also changed from what I have it set to.
I find it a bit concerning how frequently this happens. Anyone have any idea as to why this happens?
And I still know tonnes of people, especially at my workplace, that drive SUVs with "Fuck you Greta" stickers and that complain about everything and anything that is even remotely related to climate change.
Absolutely! Currently running Diablo 4 on the SteamDeck using Proton Experimental. Runs perfectly on medium-high settings at 45-50 fps. It's insane how far we've come. When I first started using Linux over ten years ago, running Windows games was nigh-impossible. And Valve finally released their Steam client for Linux, the selection of games was ... very limited.
For that to happen, I believe that interacting with people from other instances and moving your community and account from one instance to another have to become possible / easier.
At present, people flock to the instances with most users as those often have more local content (local content is generally easier to find than federated content) and they often have a smaller risk of shutting down. If I create a community on a smaller instance, the chance of it being found and interacted with are also much smaller than if it had been created on a bigger instance (because of, as I said, local content being user to find).
Sure, I can create an account on myfirstlemmyinstance.com (example URL, not an actual instance) with 10 users, but if my instance decides to shut down, my community of, say, 500 users will now have to move somewhere else and all old content will be deleted.
Ideally, I think no one instance should have a million users to begin with.
Best of luck to you! :-) Hope it works out well.
Ich vermisse den Sommer nie. Herbst ist eh am besten.
I run a PeerTube instance and the amount of people that try following my instance with exactly THAT type of content is... astonishing. It just seems like no PeerTube instance is properly moderated.
Morgens rausgehen und Vögel beobachten und fotografieren! Heute auch wieder gut vier Stunden unterwegs gewesen.
