only a few years into discovering, enjoying and learning about all the amazing birds out there - little late to all this and i have very little knowledge - the opportunities and teaching was not about when i was growing up - probably as i lived in cities mainly and parents were publicans so wildlife was not something i got to experience.
now i am belong to wildlife trust and go to many bird events to learn - i do wildlife photography and by posting photos, i find such friendly and helpful people teaching me about the birds - recently trained as a falconer as birds of prey are a passion as well - mainly tawny owls and kestrels - last year after attending many bird-ringing events i have now started my training to become a bird-ringer to help with the research and learn all i can about birds - both these have now aided me with volunteering at a wildlife rescue centre and fostering , which birds will be my main species to help - all still early days in all areas - so i have joined this group as i can already see many people with amazing knowledge and hope to learn further - so this is me saying hello 😻😻😻 -
i will read through the rules - but just for quickness - would rescued bird images and asking for advice be classed as captive even though it is short term and part of getting them healthy and back out flying free - and i also would not want to offend by posting any bird-ringing photos which are taking during the recording and show some of the amazing details of the birds close up - i would also like to say any photos i take always have the welfare of the birds/animals and taken during either health checks - cleaning - observation periods and using a telescopic lens so not to be close - low light ect - xt
