I have to photograph him at the rare moments when he's looking in my direction, or wait till someone else goes past.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-78223796779801771812018-08-09T02:40:29.479+01:002018-08-09T02:40:29.479+01:00Feral Pigeons are fiercer than Black-Headed Gulls,...Feral Pigeons are fiercer than Black-Headed Gulls, and you sometimes see them having savage fights, while the gulls just seem to strut about and moan at each other.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-37243846933521894762018-08-09T00:20:00.274+01:002018-08-09T00:20:00.274+01:00The Black-Headed Gull/Tufted duckling size differe...The Black-Headed Gull/Tufted duckling size difference there is more than Lesser Black-Back/Pigeon and I still marvel at cold-weather melees for bread between Feral Pigeons and Black-Headed Gulls where the gulls never go for the pigeons' eyes. Maybe Black-Headeds are just less nefariously-minded?

He is looking with interest at the camera, and furthermore he isn't wearing any "nyah nyah nyah" facial expression.<br /><br />What a remarkably tame Kestrel. I declare birds in Great Britain are so much tamer and more friendly than anywhere else.<br /><br />Tufted ducklings seem to be so much savvier than any other ducklings when it comes to surviving, I guess.TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.com
