A simple crow
Nothing too exciting today. However, I can never seem to get a shot of a crow as they always fly off as I start to aim the camera at them. This one, however, was quite happy to sit there in the low afternoon sun and let me take a few shots.

D3, 600 + 1.4

Missed this one earlier Peter. I like it - not easy birds especially in sun light.
Unusually small perch for a Crow too.. Could try dropping the contrast a bit maybe.
Cheers

a nice shot. For a common bird they're not the easiest to photograph well.

Well exposed, great background. Not the easiest of birds!
