Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 197

At first I was thinking about a new challenge, something like winter or cold, but on a second thought I disregarded it. Some of you live in countries with no winter and this will put limits. So,no. Better keep on with Free Theme. I would love to see more participants. I am curious what bird photos you will choose to enter with.

My photo is from today. It was very cold and the sparrows doubled in size, puffed their feathers and looked funny like this one.

ROUND 197

SHOW ME A PICTURE OF BIRD

FREE THEME

Now is your turn and let me see your photos of birds, but first read carefully the rules below⬇️

Rules

Show me your photo of a bird, following these rules:

• The photo must be your own.
• Post in the community Feathered Friends
• You may add more photos, but you should state which one is your entry, otherwise the first will be taken into account.
• Tell us something about your photo/s.
• Your photo must follow the weekly theme.
• Please put the link of your entry in the comment section of the contest post here.
• Put in the title of your post that this is an entry for the contest. (Optional)
• Use #smap as a tag.

If you create quality post with more images and interesting story about them, making extra effort can give you bigger upvotes and attract curators. Keep that in mind.
