Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome again to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest!

I am pleased to open another round of the contest, round #40. The winners of this week's round will be announced on Monday as usual.

For this week I challenge you to show me photos where you captured birds and people, not necessarily to be as many as in my example photo. I just haven't many photos, or hardly any with people and the combination of birds and people seems to be rare in my archive of zillion images.

BIRD/S AND PEOPLE

This image reminds my how the winter is approaching and soon the swans will be back on the beach and me ready to see them again. They are never alone. Seagulls and pigeons gather around as they know people coming to see the swans bring food.

Now it is your turn. Show me what you've got. One bird, one human is pretty enough to be a valid entry.

I would like to thank our judge @oks2crypto, who is doing such a great job and help choosing among all entries the winners.

Rules

Show me your photo of a bird, following these rules:

The photo must be your own.
Post in the community Feathered Friends
You may add more photos, but you should state which one is your entry, otherwise the first will be taken into account.
Tell us something about your photo/s. Just one photo is not a valid entry.
Your photo must follow the weekly theme, which will be announced each Sunday.
Please put the link of your entry in the comment section of the contest post here.
Put in the title of your post that this is an entry for the contest. (Optional)
Use #smap as a tag.

Last, but not least - have fun!

If you create quality post with more images and interesting story about them, making extra effort can give you bigger upvotes and attract curators. Keep that in mind.

Prizes

Five winners and each winner will receive 2 Hive and 100 Ecency POINTS.
