Something a bit different. This bird was clmbing on a fence in a car park so I asked the owners and they let me photograph him. He was rolling and bobbing so it was very difficult. I'm used to birds of prey who usually turn their back on you and almost never look you in the eye. I nearly fell over backwards when this one looked straight down the lens and said Hello in a London accent!!!

Brilliant shot Linda, detail and colours are excellent. Lou

brilliant I really love this.
So sharp and lovely vibrant colours.
I have to African greys who also look right back down the camera lens, they really are unlike any other birds.

What's a POV Ade?! I know it isn't perfect - I would love to have had it all in focus but the crazy bird was rocking and rolling. It was very frustrating. Hoever, I got the eye...
