This group is all about BIRDS (as you can plainly tell) This group is dedicated solely to (what?) BIRDS. Wings, talons, beaks, fat birds, short birds, scavenger birds, writings about birds, birds birds BIRDS. The medium can be anything you like; photography, paintings, drawings, etc. And the subject matter i.e. the depth of focus should be a bird, some part of a bird, or several birds.
The image must clearly show the bird and be your best work – we will reject any images we feel are not of the highest standard.
Please respect the birds that you are taking images of – particularly during the breeding/nesting seasons.
By posting images to this group you agree to the image being used in group activities – eg forum facts, challenge avatars etc.
