Gun Shy Birds

I saw this bird and thought 'very colourful I'll get a snap'. As soon as I lifted my camera the bird scarpered. Do you think it may have thought I was aiming a gun, as the lens was the 150-500 perhaps it thought it was a cannon!!!

I have always had that effect on birds feathered or otherwise

I love this its such an unconventional shot of a Pheasant as opposed to the normal frontal shots, well captured.
