I guess, though, that any self-respecting bird would get tired of people going around with cameras, and would want to go into seclusion for some me-time. Maybe there's a nest somewhere, or another bird of the opposite gender.

Apparently, smoked pigeon tastes remarkably like smoked chicken.I wonder if Daleks knows that.

Do you also have problems with birds flying off as soon as you reach for the camera?

They do this to me all the time. We fuss at them, 'We feed you! The least you can do is pose!'

Yes, but maybe there's more desirable birdseed in the neighbor's feeder.

Yes, that is the challenge of being a bird photographer - sometimes/often frustrating, but makes it all the more rewarding when a photo turns out well

I went out for my walk yesterday and found a pile of feathers on the pavement, so I feared the worst, but Daleks and friend appeared soon afterwards, so that was a relief - collared doves are quite rare here these days. Must have been a woodpigeon that had gone into the foodchain instead...
