Not my best bird shots by any means, but there was a sudden downpour and the sound drew me to my office window and I met eyes with this sheltering pigeon right next to the window on my ancient guttering - as the camera with the 18-200mm was by my hand, I got a few shots before he got bored of me. They were through old glass which was rapidly getting covered in droplets and it had gone very dark, so they were at 800ISO and hand held in a precarious position.

This was taken as he screwed himself up for a shake to get the rain off - but I didn't quite catch the full action.
