I like the large version, the eye stands out and so do the rain drops on the breast.

Don't think I ever saw one, or maybe I did and figured it was just an old crow ;) Great detail on the large version!

Thanks folks.......you only see these in Scotland where they have replaced the carrion crow although you can get both co-habiting in some areas. The BG is not sky but a mist shrouded hillside and was taken in very dreich weather (that's Scottish for sh*te).

Very envious of this one, Nick. This species is one of my must photograph birds and like Bob i've never seen one. Good job on the exposure too.
