"Well, hello!"
"Uh-oh! (3/3)" (Imogen's favourite)

Mum, Im, and I went to the Rookery in the early afternoon. I was hoping for a butterfly blip, and managed to photograph quite a few with the macro mounted. BUT then we found ourselves in the middle of a wood pigeon frenzy: I was crouching to photograph pigeons on the path when another one landed right next to me (above me on a post). It didn't freak out so I got some very close shots before a male pitched up and started chasing all the females around. I've never been so close to them (inc. in flight) so it was rather fun.
