Corvus frugilegus
...or better known as a Rook. Common bird that I have not many shots of.

Comments and critique appreciated :toast:

Is this another Gilgrin special? Definately a fine flight shot, I think their beaks make them unattractive and hence they're neglected.
Nice one

Very good shot with great detail in plumage. His eye looks a bit 'funny' on my laptop monitor, maybe he had it closed for a split second.

Yes I think it was at Gigrin Tim. Excellent place for flight shots.

Paula, I think it did have a cheeky blink, or it's partially blind!!!
