Taken in the beer-garden of the Rashleigh Arms, this afternoon. Camera in one hand, pint in the other. What a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. And what perfect weather for February...

Thank you all :-) He didn't quite pose, mythica, but they perch on the edge of the roof and scan the eating area below before launching themselves off in search of food, which is almost as good ;-)

A wonderful shot... I think would be even better if you removed the little bit of roof showing. But a spectacular shot none the less.

How did I miss this one?! Great capture! Did you throw it some food to pose for you (he,he)? At first I thought I would have preferred it without the roof, but once I downloaded it and cropped it out, I decide that it balanced the picture out (too much blue otherwise).

Impressive shot... Almost too perfect... Having the perfect bird at the right moment behind the lens at one end and a symbolic meaning at the other... ;)

This is a beautiful shot, I work in a large call center and can have nothing of a religious nature on my desk. But Christ has a way of getting his message across.

Once again, gr8 pic, gets my 10/10 :D. However, it would be nice if you could remove the part of the roof that comes into the picture (bottom right).

Great looking shot. Too bad you couldn't get an all blue background. Still a wonderful shot, very well done.
