PHP dev, sometimes pixel artist. Also takes pictures of bugs and birds to see what they look like up close.
All of my Dick Grayson fanart came with the wrong bird until I figured out American Robins were a thing.
And the “old world” version of animals are usually superior. I had a very confusing conversation about squirrels with a New Yorker friend who was describing squirrels as fluffier rats, and I was describing lovely furballs. Then we respectively found out about grey/red squirrels.
“Turdus” being Latin for “thrush” and having absolutely nothing to do with their propensity to crap on your car. Honest.
Here I am, wiping european tears of laughter off my cheeks. Incidentally, I was wondering who blackbirds had pissed off to be named “Turdus Merula”, aka “poop noxious fungus”.
Oh wow, gorgeous bird!
Herons look so incredibly cool. Until you see them from the front, of course. Gorgeous shot!
I saw some active webrings on neocities sites!

Thanks! He’s so puffy, I figured he was cold.
Gorgeous photograph. How cold was it outside that day?
Such a beautiful bird
Amazing scene! That must have been great to watch. Less so to hear!
A handsome boi!
So mossy. It’s beautiful!
“Did they see me? Naaah. I am perfectly hidden behind this tall grass!”
I saw php error logs cause a full disk in a few minutes (thankfully on a shared dev server), thanks to an accidental endless loop that just flooded everything with a wall of notices…
And, working with a CMS that allows third-party plugins that don’t bother to catch exceptions, aggressive web crawlers are not a good thing to encounter on a weekend… 1 exception x 400000 product pages makes for a loooot of text.
Beautiful picture, I love that foot in the air. Also, what a gorgeous plumage.
It comes with a PWA that works well enough.
The video is fantastic.
Apparently I speak fluent birb. The long-tailed manakins cracked me up, though.
Canon R7, Sigma contemporary 150/600mm. It was on a low tree branch so between 2 to 4m away? The odds were NOT in my favor for this picture because I accidentally locked the camera on “ISO 100”, this handheld with 2kg+ camera/lens on a windy day. Got lucky :)
Oh that’s wonderful. I head “Robin Redbreast” before but I had no idea about Jenny Wren. Lovely!
