Ye Olde Speckled... Rooster SAVE DEEN CITY FARM!! by

The chickens were restless… the farm had just opened its gates to the public and it was also feeding time… yes lots of thoughts like “chicken feed” went through my head.

I was able to get some overhead shots of them, making the chickenwire “disappear” ahhhh I like my camera’s ability to do that, hehe…. until they decided that “Oooh! A human! Let’s run right up to the wire and not let them take photos and see if they have food” Harumph.

Not to worry, I like this shot anyway. Hope you do too :-)

Deen City Farm is located in Merton near Wimbledon, has free admission and relies solely on volunteers and donations.

There is a small amount of Government funding but there is a proposal to cut the funding… please take a moment to look at and possibly sign the petition to Merton Council here Thank you!!

ANY profits made from sales of the DCF collection of photographs will be taken straight round to them.

Deen City Farm Merton, London, England. February 2010.

Canon 400d 18-55mm lens.

I use no post processing of any kind, unless stated.

    I’m pretty sure it’s a ‘she’ :-) they are very social, and very lovely :-) this one didn’t want to pose, but still… couldn’t help getting close :-)

  • Well… I thought that he was going cock-a-doodle-doo… but I could have been mistaken ;-)

    You know, I remember this comment but I cannot remember the others… sorry it took so long to reply anyway! :-)
