Pigeon Control

In front of the British Museum in London, England last week I met this museum employee (the hawk) who was there to scare the pigeons away from the museum entry plaza.  Do you see any  pigeons?  iso 500, 24mm, 250 sec, f5.6, Nikon D750, no bait.  Seriously, London has pigeons everywhere and they are a problem.  I did eat a Scottish Wood pigeon at a pub; perhaps the common pigeons could also be a food source for the hungry?

Interesting story.  I find the hawks head blending in with the BG too much for my liking.  Maybe a lower angle would have worked.  Good exposure and color.  Thanks for sharing.
