I have an odd relationship with this bird - I like him and he hates me!

Canon 5dII, 500mm, ISO250

A familiar tail (tale) then Pete.

You're lucky to have him though and he just knows it!!

Nice composition on this one.

Hi Peter, I just love this. I had one which took a bite out of my arm. Beware!

He sure does have a rather menacing look about him

A fine shot.
