As always, I want to thank @nelinoeva for the competition. You can read the rules and announcement here - https://ecency.com/hive-106444/@nelinoeva/feathered-friends-show-me-a-0702728288526 This week's topic is - **FREE THEME** I decided to share with you photographs of birds taken on my phones. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWvrjMVWgfDRp4sJxH69HyfrhjADb1KNNNHfMUxWrnXVT/img_20210919_110543.jpg) It was my first phone with a telezoom camera. And the very first photo I took was of a tame great tit I knew. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUCSky4mc4e1W1wmUmWJrXHy7PBYkapa5hYrbauVBX8sw/img_20211012_181035.jpg) Then I decided to test its capabilities at the botanical garden. There are always a lot of tame ducks there that people feed. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXJg1jKNG2F2wd75VkDdwVKQxorjdjT6xB7xdYRAkMDoC/img_20211005_182329.jpg) There are also always feeders for other birds there.

As you can see, there's a kite, a chaffinch, and a waxwing. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUjCsxexb553qHoQwswqN8KpYZ3qgrR3rprDQY9LqxudK/20230506_185939.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTgyobkpADUqgDJnFLEePnMSwz1X679pVPhzvvZTMtctn/20230507_094429.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQUJPtu1dj4uxAnpnejGAizz5xgWN7yBuDpeKMv3xYDPD/20230507_100402.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmf185f9jmcsdY3wNpi1wWpFbDei69ZkU88e5A4ZFBQZ5g/20230518_161211.jpg) The telephoto camera on your phone is also a lifesaver when traveling. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUBb5o579mGxxeu25TreRQezXLwrABjXJFpkEYWa52oeb/20230507_141432.jpg) When I was visiting my relatives, I suddenly saw a bluethroat in the bushes in the middle of the city. I couldn’t just pass by! ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWWdMa4hytct2S6tdXCHifoLNFUqpPZQeet6xVMaHdhRr/20230518_125900.jpg) And sometimes the phone helped me out when the bird was very close to me, and it was impossible to take a photo with a camera, the phone helped.

The cameras are worse. Although, it's up to you to judge. |Camera|Lens| |------------|------------| | Xiaomi | Mi 11 Ultra | Samsung | Galaxy S22 Ultra | Xiaomi | 13 Ultra | Samsung | Galaxy S24 Ultra
