Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 171 - UPDATE

in Feathered Friends6 months ago (edited)

Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 171

In the Northern hemisphere, the summer knocks at the door. Here we could say summer arrived much earlier. We experienced hot days even in April. Now it feels like late July or early August. God knows what would be then.

Birds are using any water source to quench thirst or to have a refreshing bath. Seeing that sparrow drinking from the paddle, the idea of the topic came to my mind - Summer Photos of birds. Again you can interpret according to your understanding how you see the birds to fit in that topic.

And here is my example - a sparrow in a hot summer day.

ROUND 171

SHOW ME A PICTURE OF BIRD

SUMMER PHOTO


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.

Last, but not least - have fun!

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.

📣 UPDATE

Happy to announce we have Ecency points thanks to @barbara-orenya and @melinda010100 to give away and I updated the prizes.

Prizes:

Five winners and each winner will receive 2 Hive and 200 600 Ecency POINTS, thanks to Feathered Friend community, @barbara-orenya and @melinda010100.

The winners will receive 0,05 HP from our sponsor @sagarkothari88

As you could see the Ecency points will be less as reward and tip. Our beloved @barbara-orenya will be away from Hive for uncertain time. Until she returns or somebody else would like to sponsor the contest, the rewards and tips will be as announced in this post.

Please take you time to visit the blogs of our sponsors and give them some love. We are most grateful for their generosity.


For those who are not familiar with Ecency POINTS - the ecency.com and its mobile version reward the users with POINTS when post, comment and using Ecency apps. The accumulated points can be used to promote your posts or to be gifted to other users.

📣 UPDATE

A new feature is introduced - Boost+ that allows to use your points to receive delegation. The old Boost is no longer in use and is replaced by the Boost+.

Now Feathered Friends Community begins receiving POINTS when you post in the community, thanks to the initiative created by Ecency. This way the community is earning POINTS and gladly will reward the winners with them.

Another feature introduced by Ecency is tipping from ecency.com. Now you can tip in Hive, Hive dollars or Points when you use ecency.com.

Feathered Friends Community is grateful to all who set the community as beneficiary on their posts. If you like to help the community, you may also donate HP to @hive-106444. Your support will help building higher VP and higher votes on your posts.

Hahaha, thank you so much.😀

Thank you for your entry.😃

Added to Ecency Discord contest channel and sending Points for your Prize Fund!

Big thank you, Melinda! ❤️❤️❤️

Sparrows and smaller birds love puddles on the grounds to wash or drink, lovely capture of this alert little one out and about.

Thanks Joan, the little guy was very funny, but he did not want to stay for a bath, just to drink. 😀

Some do arrive to drink, others take a quick bath when it appears hotter or earlier in the day. Always cute to watch.

Hello dear friend @nelinoeva good morning
What a great idea, without a doubt we will see many birds entering in summer.
Have a great day

I think this is more like free theme, but summer is upon us.🙂

PS. given how Ecency works, now, is there a way to boost the community account?

Thanks for joining the fun again. 🙂
To answer your question - you can send points to community to increase the reward pool for the contest, or using points for Boost+. That way, Ecency will delegate the community HP for certain period of time.

I was trying to use the boost+ feature, but couldn't find where; probably some dumbness! If it can be done, will put my points to good use then.

When you use Ecency as a front end, on top right corner you will find Buy perks. Click on it and from there you will see where boost+ is.

Thanks for the tips! Tried it a few minutes ago and it seems to have worked, boosted community for a week!

Big thank you for your support!

More than deserved, it's the best way to utilize those points!

Thank you somuch for your entry. 🙂

Each valid entry will receive 20 60 Ecency Points as a tip!

I want to send you 10k points. I do not know what to do with them.

I received generous donation of ecency points and I will continue to give 60 points as a tip.
Any support is most welcome and I am very grateful for the points you sent. Thank you very much!
