Ruff looking Crow ?
Carrion Crow
Thought this Carrion Crow looked wierd trying to look like a displaying Ruff ! :biggrin:
They are such wary birds but like many others can be really confiding at water, once they accept the hide.
D200.
Sigma 100-300mm
640 ISO
Contrast down in camera.
A dose of Fill flash in Paint Shop Pro.

another very nice image John. Not only are you getting a great variety of birds but the beauty of these pool shots is that they show the birds in very different poses to those we normally see.
