Just returned from a two week business trip that, for the first time, got me around the world in a single trip: Chicago, Tokyo, Seoul, Daejon, Singapore, London, Berlin, London, and back to Chicago. It was a tight schedule during the local work days plus a second work day at night doing email and conference calls with the US. But I got out a little and here is some of what I saw ...
These birds were all over Berlin. In fact, you had to be careful in cafes and outdoor seating areas. One moment of not guarding your food, and they'd sit on your plate and steal it. Here they look rather innocent, but always ready to attack.
Picture details: Aperture: f5.6, shutter: 1/160s, focal length: 210mm, no flash, no tripod.
