• Terrified jackdaw hiding from the gull!

I'm back! (or 'The show's not over till the fat gull sings!')

If I was paranoid I would say that this is the same herring gull that made my life a misery last week by roosting on a telegraph pole by my back bedroom window - but I will give him the benefit of the doubt!
This morning, as I always do, I opened my lounge window and got my camera fired up before putting food out on the lawn. In the 10 seconds it took me to get back inside and pick up the camera the garden was a heaving mass of gulls and I reeled off 20+ shots of departing tails! This was one of only two images that were either in focus or did not just include the butt end of a gull!

Behind the fence you can just make out the head and feet of a terrified jackdaw!

    a group dedicated to the photography of wildlife in their natural habitat.

    A truly great shot……..
