JACKDAWS AND ROOKS.

A few images of Jackdaws and Rooks taken at Lowther Gardens.These beautiful birds are overlooked by so many people,but to me they are photogenic,and I have tried to capture their true colours in the sunshine.

A CROW PARLIMENT.








I don't know if these images are of a crow parliment,but this was a vicious attack that could easily have ended in death for the unfortunate bird.I'm a long way from the action so the images are only record shots,but I thought I had to post these images for the story they tell. P S the bird survived.

SLAVIONIAN GREBE PART 3.

Friday's weather was much better the wind had dropped and the sun was shining,I decided to go back to Fairhaven just after lunch for the sun to be in a better position.Brian Simon and Jon three photographers were already enjoying themselves catching images of this enchanting little bird.I enjoyed a couple of hours in the company of these photographers capturing images of this little bird.I've cropped these images a bit tighter,as some of my other posts don't seem to do justice to the image,they seem ok when enlarged,anyway see what you think,any advice and comments would be appreciated thank you.
