SUMMARY
Photographer Carl Bovis was amused when a former attorney blocked him on social media for posting an unflattering photo of a woodpigeon, interpreting it as the bird "singing in the rain." Bovis, who uses a Nikon Z9 and a 180-600mm lens, stated he found the situation hilarious and gained followers from the exchange. He has previously experienced unusual discussions about his photography, including claims that his birds in flight photos were staged with string. Bovis began photographing birds in 2006 with a Nikon D50 DSLR to document wildlife he encountered.
