All the chat about how #funny pigeons are reminded me of this #photo I took a while back. It's an adult gull being harassed for food by its (fairly) grown up chick. The look of forbearance on mom/dad's face is just priceless. #humour #birding #funnybirds #birdphotography #NatureLovers #photography

I've a couple of feeders in my garden. The pigeons have become regulars, hoovering up spilt seed. The feeders get refilled regularly, so that the pigeons now see me as their 'provider'. Every time I go into the kitchen, this is what I see. Yesterday - wet but hopeful! #birding #birds #funny #nature

I used to #CycleRide through Hackney Fields early mornings. It was often misty, and I tried to capture those amazing mornings on #camera so many times. I finally took this with my 20-year-old snaps camera set to vivid. The zoom (only x2.5) was maxed out, so it's fuzzy. Kinda like it! #photooftheday
