I was at the Auckland Domain, when I heard a loud droning sound. I looked up it the sky. The sky was blackened by flying pigeon. I managed to capture a small number. I was worried they would poop on me.
Addition:
In fact I had been "pooped" twice recently. Once we were having a picnic with friends. Her little boy got pooped first. While we were cleaning him, I was pooped at the top of my head. We moved away to another bbq table where we were not under the trees.
Last month, I offered to mind their kids in their garden after I cooked them lunch. Me and the kids were sitting on the deck, I did see a few pigeons. TThe next thing, one of them pooped on my head. I didn't tell my friend, other wise she might feel embarassed.
The Chinese says it mean I would strike the lottery ticket. How often would you get a flying pigeon poop on you? LOL
Pigeons are noisy and they poop everywhere great photo just the same.
ReplyDeleteA good picture of the birds in flight! Oh, I see another post below, did I miss this one, I'll pop on down and check it out!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful thing to view a huge flock of birds, but I totally understand your concern if they're flying right over you. You were lucky to see so many.
ReplyDeleteI love pictures of birds in flight, but you're right, no one needs pigeon poo in her hair, or her camera.
ReplyDeleteGood shot. Probably better than if you'd caught all of them.

Not to worry Ann, those pigeons are way high above, they can't poop on you.
ReplyDeleteTerrific capture and I can just imagine the noise, but I do love seeing huge flocks of birds in flight! Great one for the day! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteThe picture is lovely with all the flight.....

Superb shot.
ReplyDeletewhat can a pigeon do when it's time to go?:p
ReplyDeletefun shot!
It is a beautiful photo, I love to watch any type of bird fly. I have the same thought when the birds are flying directly over my head.
ReplyDeleteNature does magical things. Birds in flocks is one of them. Great capture.
ReplyDeleteI want to call the shot 'freedom'. :)
ReplyDeleteLots of birds, Ann. I would be afraid that they would poop on me also!!!! ha
ReplyDeleteGreat Skywatch picture.

Hello Ann,
ReplyDeleteVery nice capture! We had Band-tailed pigeons visit our garden for the first this year and have no idea from whence they came... but beautiful birds. As for a lottery winner, well....;)
Sibu and Bandar Seri Begawan are famous for bird droppings (on cars) but few people ever go around taking photos of these birds flying above the skies ...this is lovely photo...thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy mum used to say it was good luck, but I sure didn't feel very lucky!!
ReplyDeleteA very nice phoeo and I Loved the story!
Nowadays bird dropping can be quite dangerous with all sorts of vires.
