I stopped to take a photo of the tranquil evening scene over the reservoir at Coppermill Lane, Walthamstow, and....
It was ugly for a while but luckily, after some vicious pecking and a few broken wings and flying feathers, we managed to clear up the misunderstanding. I explained the difference between a camera and a loaf of bread, and I think both sides came away with a clearer understanding of the issues, and perhaps a greater respect for the others' point of view.
I love them, especially their calls, but no one else does on the east coast as far as I know. They're called dogs that fly. I think you know what I mean ...
