Every European (and I guess non-Europeans as well) can vote what our next Euro design will be: https://surveys.ecb.europa.eu/10b/neweuro/

About ten different designs are available and about half of them feature birds instead of boring people.

I really like the bird designs as they symbolise freedom without borders. Hope one of them gets chosen in the end.

Funny, I was about to say I've never seen a single one of the spieces depicted in the image. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Well the 50 is a white stork, actually the national bird of my country :3 we have (or used to have back when I learned it in school) the highest nesting density of storks :3 and also a holiday about celebrating storks

The others I believe are:

  • 5 - scarlet wallcreeper
  • 10 - kingfisher
  • 20 - european bee eater
  • 100 - avocet
  • 200 - northern gannet

I've seen a few of those in the wild, but definitely not all :3

FYI, Design B has the names of the birds printed on the notes, and you're correct about all of them.

Portugal? All the storks and enormous nests balanced on everything is hilarious, I love it.

Lithuania :3

We have the same thing with stork nests on everything tho

That's cool. Very much on my list of places to visit. Was in Portugal last week which is why that came to mind first.

It's always interesting to me when people choose to visit here :3 I suppose cause all of it is quite standard to me lol

If you do come, I hope you visit more than just vilnius tho. A lot of people seem to just stick to it, and not see any of the rest of the country ^^

That would be my bird criticism too. I recognized 4/6 people on the notes but have no idea what these birds are or where they live. I would expect crows, magpies, swallows, seagulls or even those green parakeets that are technically invasive but are all over Europe.

It's crazy and unacceptable we didn't get a corvid.

Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.

  1. This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

  2. This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

  3. When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

  4. Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

  5. Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.
