This little bloke came and sat about 3ft away from me, this is one of about 20 shots

[Craftysnapper]

Blimey that is close if it was took at 18mm! Nice pic as well.

[THELONGMAN]

Cheers Paul, he did come in a lot closer, so close I couldn't focus, this is about he best of he blurry ones,

Crikey ...that's a bit scary Geoff ...That beak looks ...sharp !

Were you eating a fish and chip buttie to entice  him! Aren't you always glad you carry a camera  when you get results like  that first one especially ....makes up for all the times one comes back with nowt !

[JHFoto]

Very good....................

[THELONGMAN]

Cheers Clicker, Id been out catching the sunrise, and as the light got less interesting I just sat on the rocks and watched the tide lapping on the shore, --there was no one else around and this juvenile flew in and strutted around close to me, looking into the camera and just stayed with me or about 15 mins until I got up and walked away, Quite surreal,

 

Geoff

Thanks JHF,

 

Geoff

 Looks a bit of a fatty in that second picture - too many chips?

[FUJI]

Love the first shot....it has a classic.......Bird-Book .......quality......the detail is excellent, against a background of its natural habitat.

Id been out catching the sunrise

 

 

Ah......hence the camera still being in Landscape Mode. I did wonder.

 

Fun shot.

[THELONGMAN]

Could be Colin, but not my chips, not at 6.30 in the morning anyway,

[THELONGMAN]

Cheers BP, your right, this was on my old 500D when I was doing the lazy mans way, --then you find out its so limiting and move on,

 

Geoff

[THELONGMAN]

Thanks a lot Fuji, --This was in Portugal with beautiful red rocks,

[Heather]

you must have had an icecream to tempt him that close !   these are brilliant 

[Korky]

Love the first shot. Excellent!

 

Cheeky little buggers, though. One swooped in and nicked my ham sandwich once.

 

Korky

[THELONGMAN]

Thanks Heather, I had nothing, that's the strange thing, he just wanted some company I think

 

Geoff

[THELONGMAN]

Cheers Korky, Like you I've seen them swoop for everything from sandwiches to Ice Cream, but he got nought from me, just his picture taken,
