[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There are some rather brave (and occasionally amorous) pidgeons which seem to live near my mother and father-in-law's home. My wife's ferrets like to eat nuts from the grass under the bird table, and yet the pideons will still come and join in fearlessly. This one had just eaten and was taking off to return to the roof of the house. Focussing was difficult, even using C-AF since they move so quickly, and a fast f/stop is required, unfortunately giving a very shallow depth of field.
No p.p. to speak of. Just cropping.
