This is from the zoo near Camden Lock in London, UK, a few weeks ago when I was in London.
I was with my family, walking along the river, when we'd heard some bird calls. We'd looked up in the direction of the sounds and saw these huge trees with netting around them. I'd poked my camera through the bushes, pointed my 70-200L f/4 lens up towards the direction of the atrium, was looking through the camera trying to see what kind of birds were there when suddenly it popped up its' head and stared in my direction. Reflexively, I'd depressed the button...

It's may not be the sharpest, clearest shot, but considering it was shot through netting, a slightly overcast sky and at the maximum 200mm which usually requires a tripod... it's not that bad and captures the expression. Not all shots can be technically perfect, it's all about the moment.
