Flying Rook
Hello,

Spent the morning photographing Rooks at my local lake, one of my favourite birds - awful light, black clouds, odd ray of sunshine and damn cold - this was my favourite of the day.

D3+ 300mm 2.8 @ 300mm
1/1000 sec f6.3 ISO 400
handheld

cheers for looking

Colin.

Very nice, though a nice pastoral back ground would be better IMO. Good job getting the blues.

Nice colours & details. A great flight shot & the Rook stands out well against the water.
