Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper!
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

If it wasnt because it is a gull and not a pigeon, I should think it was a pack leader :-) Excellent capture and well seen. :)

A case of my beaks bigger and nastier than yours so keep your distance! A great spot Andrea, none of them dare even look at him! I was expecting a shot of Bruce Springsteen in concert from the title, so a real surprise!

Just don't look up when you walk out from under.

Maybe sheltering from the heavy winds of the sea?.. great capture, seagulls were born for it more than pigeons.

Very good capture the second one he appears to be giving you the evil eye

King of the Pigeons, eh? There is an old Japanese saying that says "The nail that sticks up will be hammered down." An excellent catch.

This shelter sports an Asian influence in this pic of the pigeon - which strongly resembles a seagull - smugly overlooking its domain, Andrea. I suspect its entourage left the usual defecation behind on the roof.

The Boss seems to be a different sort from his minions. So interesting!

A perfect title Andrea an a wonderful zoom to see the different colors and feather patterns in the pigeons!

Something very noble in his appearance. And a certain aloofness...
