Pigeons ,Waterloo Place

I'd watched Margaret feeding the #pigeons and photographed her on a few occasions.Having edited those i wanted to get closer to them with a #16mm lens .To do this i had to lie for more than 10 mins on the ground in waterloo Pl with the crust of a loaf of bread in front of my lens by a few cms .It took that long for one brave nosey pigeon to risk his life for a few crumbs while the others watched on to see if he'd survive or not,then they joined in .
