About Birds and Wildlife UK

We only accept PHOTOS of Wild Birds, Wild Animals and Insects of the UK ~ England ~ Scotland ~ Wales ~ Ireland ( For your VIDEOS follow this link : Birds and Wildlife UK VIDEOS )

This is a group of members who enjoy the native birds and wildlife found within the UK.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* RULES *
Please make sure the photo includes a *native* wild bird, wild animal, water creature or insect found in the UK. Photos of non-British natives or domestic birds/animals are not allowed in the group pool. (If you are unsure about your bird, please check out the BOU link provided lower on this page, where you will find all the British natives in categories A, B and C.)

Please BEWARE of birds in sanctuaries, they are often NON-BRITISH species, and any captive birds (especially those wearing traces,) will be removed.

It helps if the bird, animal or insect is the main focus of the shot and not a speck in the distance, (or a silhouette), as many members use the group for wildlife identification purposes. We do like to keep the first page varied, so we ask you not to post three photos of the same bird, animal or insect at the same time, unless by doing so you show another identification point.... i.e. the rear end of a mallard to show a close up of the curly tail, or the close up of a beak.
(Three very similar photos posted together may result in two being removed – sorry.)

It is against the law to disturb many bird species in the nest, or during the first few days of fledging, so we ask you not to post photos of birds in their nests or eggs.



Check out the link below to the BOU list (accepted birds are in categories A,B, and C) to help you decide if your bird is native to the British Isles.

If you are not sure of bird / animal / insect we do have a very active, (and knowledgeable,) identificaton thread, where we will try to anwser your query as quickly as possible.


Comments
************
Please take the time to have a look at some of the other photos in the pool and leave a comment. We all like to get comments especially from those who share our interests, and whereas it isn't obligatory it would be nice if you could find time to comment on other photos in the pool.
Thank you.
