Seriously Words, when are you bringing out a wildlife book!? up Great shots!!

Phil, that's more or less how they came out of the camera. I did dial in a fair amount of exposure compensation (to try and get some detail against the sky), but apart from raising the levels a bit to pull up the detail, and very minor noise reduction/sharpening I didn't do much editing.

Darko, they can be very sleek when they want to be. Rooks are much scruffier wink

Adele, another moment I only saw in the viewfinder. And thought, 'oh thank you crow!' bigsmile

Mark, my favourite too, though I kind of like the way the tail comes forward in the third shot.

Anon, thanks for the link. If it's non-commercial then it's ok. Not really sure about what that site does, but I doubt anyone is getting rich on my dodgy crows.

Except that maybe crows will become celebrities p
