Gulls at the pond

By Paul Cecil | Published December 12, 2008

I took these during a severely truncated lunchbreak today. The pond is a small ornamental feature a few yards from my office, and occasionally the gulls make use of it.

Meanwhile, this jackdaw just sat and watched.

As for the foxes, nicked-ear showed up briefly tonight, proving that she's still queen of the garden.

Camera note: the gulls were photographed with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. I used the EF70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM for the vixen.

    I love that jackdaw. It's like the supervisor of a mob of bandits :bandit:
