Submit a photograph

The photographs in this guide are under a Creative Commons licence or in the public domain and show free-living wild birds. Anyone with such a photograph can offer it here.

Each species has one main photograph and, below it, additions: the other sex, winter plumage, a young bird, a chick. A submitted photograph is considered if it shows a plumage or a stage the page still lacks, or is clearly better than what is there. The author judges every submission himself; nothing goes on the site automatically. Replies are sent by e-mail.

What a photograph must meet

• A free, living, wild bird in the field — no cage, mesh, fence, aviary, zoo or breeding centre.
• No ring or transmitter in view, no hand, no mounted specimen, no dead bird.
• A photograph, not a print, drawing or screenshot; without a watermark, caption or logo in the image.
• Landscape or square, sharp, and at least 1600 pixels on the long side. JPEG or PNG, up to 20 MB.
• Your own: you are the photographer and you release it under one of the five licences below.
