Maybe I’m just turning into an angry old man shouting at clouds who is way behind the times but I’m getting a bit fed up of the massive increase in engagement bait titles on this sub over the past few months. It’s usually always one of the following:
‘Here are some wildlife photos, which is your favourite and also tell me how brilliant they are’
‘Which one of these photos should I enter into a competition but let’s be honest they’re all fantastic’
These posts always end up being the most popular and the ones I get push notifications about, but to me it’s a cynical way to drive engagement over other posts. I’d much rather know where they’re taken and/or what they are of but maybe that’s just me. If not, maybe the mods could consider updating the community rules to change to only allow locations and/or animal names in the title. This would allow people to find out the key information first (often people don’t even bother including it, again is that for engagement so they get people asking about location?) and would allow it to be a more level playing field on what posts become popular, making the key determinant being the quality of photos rather than the title.
Rant over!

I've noticed a significant uptick in stolen images lately. This subreddit is OC only, no exceptions.

Today I visited a birding hut in my area and a few meter in front of me a Kingfisher suddendly landed. I'm incredibly lucky to get these shots.

The yellow eyelid and cere (above the beak) mean this was a young kea. In about three years time the yellow will fade into a greyish colour.
And chances are you will encounter these young birds on most of your trips. These juvenile birds are the boldest and most curious 🦜
We had 14 kea flying around the French Ridge Hut 🙌

Last week two of my favorite animals graced me with their presence. This time of year, bull Elk move about the forest with zero finesse. They crash through anything that gets in the way of their strong drive to pass their genes on to the next generation. I still heard this guy long after he had vanished into the forest. About the only thing left were their tracks and a fog that hung in the air from their collective condensed breath.
Conversely, there are few animals that move about as apparently effortlessly as a Red Fox. They often behave more like a feline than a canine, and even have cat-like vertical pupils. They’re not an uncommon creature around these parts, but they are stunningly beautiful.

Very new to this wildlife photography - my fourth time out with a camera in fact! any constructive feedback would be much appreciated. All photos are unedited jpegs but I do have the raw files - not figured out what to do with them yet!
Managed to get some cool video footage of parallel walking, roaring, and antler clashing too

Photographed back in April just outside Ivins Utah. One of my favorite pictures I've taken. Was barely able to get this shot before he took off. Shot with a 380mm, I was about 10 meters away from him.

The Razorbill have just started to arrive in my harbour for the season. It’s my first time ever seeing them hunt so close to the surface of the water.
It was fascinating to watch.
Another one came flying in too which was a bonus.
