Birds can be really difficult to take good photographs of – just as you click the shutter they move, squawk, waddle away or fly off. But over the years I’ve been lucky enough to snap a few memorable, and unusual, shots, which I thought I’d share with you here.
Seagull, Windermere
This seagull was cheerfully ignoring the local parking regulations at Lakeside, on the shores of Windermere, but flew off before anyone could fine it.
Pigeons, Liverpool
Even the pigeons looked fed up on a recent trip to the (otherwise brilliant) Liverpool waterfront in non-stop pouring rain.
Cormorant, River Thames
These birds perch on anything to dry their wings after a fishing trip…
Doves, Windermere
Sleepy, puffed-up doves braving the promenade on a freezing cold morning in Bowness.
Pigeons, V&A
Who needs waiting staff or cleaners when you can just get the pigeons to tidy up for you? Taken at the V&A museum café in London a few years ago.
