One from today. Taken just before a certain gentleman in our company (who shall remain anonymous) was attacked by 3 old ladies who had been feeding the birds there for 30 years and decided to empty half a ton of bird seed under a tree in the shade - result all our birds disappeared. You may recognise this gentleman by the tyre marks on his back where one of the old dears drove over him on her way out.

Lovely one Maggie, super pose. Same thing happened to me - not the run over bit - a couple of weeks ago; a woman got hold of my carefully placed perch - thought it was an old stick, threw it on the ground and with it a couple loaves of bread!! Photo finish!!

Delightful shot Maggie.
You always seem to have adventures when you go out - I'm not sure whether it's safe to be around you!

Very nice Maggie and the lighting really makes it.. Maybe you should collect all your adventures and write them as a photographers memoirs.. Would make for fun reading I'm sure..
