Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 83 - UPDATE

in #hive-1064442 years ago

Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,


📣

UPDATE

I am pleased to announce that we have a new sponsor. Thank you @anomadsoul for the generous donation! Each winner will receive also 3 LEO tokens on top of the other rewards!


Welcome to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 83!

You may ask yourselves what kind of photos I wish to see for this round? After some consideration and digging into my photos, I decided to challenge you with birds who are preening themselves.

Birds perform preening with care. They put their feathers in order, clean them and at the same time use oil from the gland based near the tail to distribute it all over. Feathers play important role and birds preen themselves every day.

ROUND 83

SHOW ME A PICTURE OF

PREENING BIRD

I saw the dove spending some quality time of preening on top of the lamp post and here are some photos as example.

Now is your turn and let me see your photos of birds, but first read carefully the rules below⬇️

Rules

Show me your photo of a bird, following these rules:

  • The photo must be your own.
  • Post in the community Feathered Friends
  • You may add more photos, but you should state which one is your entry, otherwise the first will be taken into account.
  • Tell us something about your photo/s.
  • Your photo must follow the weekly theme.
  • Please put the link of your entry in the comment section of the contest post here.
  • Put in the title of your post that this is an entry for the contest. (Optional)
  • Use #smap as a tag.

Last, but not least - have fun!

If you create quality post with more images and interesting story about them, making extra effort can give you bigger upvotes and attract curators. Keep that in mind.

Hi @nelinoeva, that is interesting contest, there are many birds around and I can imagine that it would be possible to get one in the shot during his morning bath. Will see if I can catch the moment. The contest is really cool!

Each week there is a new theme, so stay tuned.

Thank you for invitation and will be keeping an eye :)

Thamk you very much for submitting your entry, but I am afraid you were a bit late.

@nelinoeva Awesome click of the preening bird. It sets the bar high for pics of preening birds. 😀 Let me see what I can find in my clicks that can match the quality of that shot.

Hi @sammy00, glad to see your entry!

@nelinoeva nice to enter again your contest

What a majestic preening. 🙂

Thank you for entering again!

😊👍

Preening and cleaning making flight will happen, big part of a birds life 😅

Indeed, they are very good in doing it.
Hope you have some photos to share. 🙂

Will have to take a look through the photographs I have, enjoy your week and thanks for being so consistent with topics.

We finally got some long overdue rain showers today. Not much fell from the clouds but we will gladly take any amount of precipitation. Is your part of the country experiencing the same?

I have my eyes peeled looking for any preening of the wet feathered friends visiting our bird feeders to photograph!📸🐦📸

Wishing you a good week, Neli @nelinoeva

Hi Nina,
It is hot and dry here. Not a drop of rain, I forgot when it was the last time it rained. Summers are dry usually, but these heat waves are not that usual.

I will be looking forward to seeing your photos. 🙂

Have a great week!

What a beauty! Thanks for your entry!
