Spotted wood owl in Singapore https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/714e3735-7633-4aae-bc5a-b6df4bba8037.jpeg

Logically this makes it a [spotted wood owl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_wood_owl). > > Sorry for the low quality - it was at the limits of my Pixel 6 camera.

  • birding birding Wait, is birding about seeing the same couple of species 99% of the time? Always has been
    Jump
  • peachfaced peachfaced 3 months ago 100%

    It started out as trying to photograph new species that I didn't find before (gotta catch 'em all).

    After a while I accepted some are less common to see, and I shifted to trying to get better photos or different positions of familiar birds to improve my skills.

    I think either approach works, whichever makes you happy with the hobby.

    How do you find the overall quality of the game? I thought it was cute and in general feels a little easier than Mario Bros Deluxe.

    Then again I'm only at the initial stages, keep getting sidetracked by other stuff.

    I got this too and honestly have to say it's not my type of game. Feels a little repetitive with no goal besides salvaging enough scrap to meet the next quota.

    Maybe I'm missing out on some hidden features, but the group plays a bigger role in enjoyment than the game for me.

    A lot of people have mentioned It takes Two, which really is great and you get to try many different mechanics.

    You can also check out Fling or Keywe on steam. Only 2 players max (as compared to 4 players on Overcooked or Plate Up), but less complicated controls. Bread & Fred is another I've been meaning to check out too.

    Unrailed has simple controls but more objectives to accomplish, and Out Of Space is similar to Overcooked but not in a cooking setting.

    Edit: Didn't realise I used a shortened name. Fling refers to 'Fling to the Finish'

  • peachfaced peachfaced 10 months ago 100%

    Similar to other replies, also dry-brine and reverse sear for a medium rare steak. But I usually got for chuckeye roll because it has a stronger flavour and is cheaper.

    I can get a 400g steak for about $10 or less, feeds 2 with sides. A cheap luxurious dinner.

    The shape of the beak actually looks like the finch family. I looked through common birds of Armenia in Merlin, and Pale Rockfinch seems like a possible choice.

    To the second point, the paid plan still doesn't allow multiple account logins on mobile app, sign out is still required. Are you referring to vault sharing through family plan as the feature?
