Jackdaw....
Taken in August at The Lizard in Cornwall. I was after the elusive Chough, but this guy moved so it got shot!!

Thanks for comments on my previous upload

Superb detail, I would be very pleased to have taken this.

Hopefully I`ll be coming down to Yarner soon...I`ll give you a shout.

Lovely shot, Graeme.
Did you manage to see or photograph any Choughs?
Posted by Graeme Lee on December 5, 2006 at 12:48 AM
No I didn't get to see them at all Jeremy :frown:

Nice shot Graeme - lovely pose & exposure,

Went to Yarner on the w/e and saw hardly anything - v.unusual! just a few Coal/Great tits and not enough for any queuing so they were just in and gone.

Shame as it was first time in about 3/4 months I've gone out to do some photography! :rolleyes:

Hi Graeme

Bit of a scruffy individual but the light and the detail in this image are superb!

You dont normally see these posted here,I dont know why, the eye alone is worthy of a shot,one of the best jackdaw images i have seen with superb detail,shame its such a scruffy looking individual :toast:

I agree with Dave - one of the best Jackdaws I have seen - great detail in the black plumage. I quite like the scruffiness - they always seem scruffy "jack the lad types" to me anyhow :smile:

It's the scruffiness that sets it apart from the others. Superb detail and an eye to die for.

It's a top shot, and nice to see a different subject! I love the background - it's ideal.

And he's not scruffy - he's just 'full of character' :wink:
