Warning - a very poor photo!

They are true little beggars, are the avian park residents. How they remember who had brought them seeds is beyond me but every time I walk through there a flock of different birds (mostly great tits but also chaffinches and blackbirds and an occasional robin, and of course sparrows from a safe distance) follows in my footsteps, fluttering from branch to branch, making themselves as visible as possible while still keeping out of reach. (note to self: stock with seeds the next time you go there)

But the instant one takes out a camera, they hide from the view or keep moving so as to make a shot nearly impossible. And it doesn't matter whether you bribe them or not.
