Birds with attitude

[itsnotmeyouknow]

I don't often take photos of birds, but I have seen lots of character in a wide range of birds today from Ducks to Ravens to Robins.  A lot of birds by Windermere are getting rather 'frisky'  and some poor female ducks are getting jumped by 6 drakes at a time! Sorry there's so many but I actually really like these!  They are all taken with my 100mm macro lens which is SOO sharp!

Instead they are waiting to be fed by people.  The local stores in North West (South) Korea - (the locals don't call it South Korea, just Korea) sell fish sticks to feed the gulls, although they are much less aggressive than the ones to be found on UK beaches.
