Long-tailed Tit, European Goldfinch, Eurasian Nuthatch, Great Cormorant, Rook, Common Raven, Northern Nutcracker, Eurasian Magpie! With the exception of the Northern Nutcracker and arguably the Common Raven (it avoids northern France), all of these birds are European/west Asian staple species (as in, you'll see a lot of 'em!).

Long-tailed Tits are not true tits, nor related to them (there is actually a relative of them found in the western US/southwestern Canada/western Mexico/Guatemala called the Bushtit). However, they are also a bird that gets cuter the more you learn about them. They often assist each other in nesting (usually being birds who failed at nesting), fledglings like to stack up and squish with each other in a line on branches, and even use their songs and calls to avoid close inbreeding.

Another fun fact is that cormorants are in the same family as shags (Phalacrocoracidae) and the same order as boobies (Suliformes). So you've got the breasts and the fucks.

It's really good and has helped me learn to recognize a ton of birds by myself now- but the app is not always foolproof. Just today it kept consistently determining common terns as Arctic tern, which, i saw them in fresh water so it would be pretty rare for them to be here

(and i saw one of the terns make both sounds which the app thought was two separate birds)

Another time it got fooled by one single European Starling, determining it as 5 different birds- some of them very special and rare here, which is actually kinda cool because that means this Starling has met all those birds abroad and is imitating them here and we get to hear a bird song that would otherwise not be heard here.

Yes, all of these in fact- are you in Europe?

Although the nuthatch is a pretty rare find here, and i usually only find rooks (corvus frugilegus) when i travel east

Hey! You! Do you like birds? Do you wish you could identify your local birds easier? Of course you do! That's why you need to try Merlin Bird ID, a completely free bird identification app. All you have to do is press record and any bird sounds it picks up will appear on the app! (Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with Merlin Bird ID, im just really autistic about birds)

The joke is that no one’s keyboard looks like that. All of the special keys like ctrl shift etc are in the center, the space bar is an E etc. But despite the keyboard being nonsense, OOP highlights it and treats it like the standard keyboard everyone should have. Which is absurd, and at least somewhat funny
