Rook
ALL black crow species (in flight against a bright sky) are the very devil to expose with any sort of plumage detail showing. Because they're completely different from the rest of the sky in the frame. (obviously)
Although most any other predominantly black bird won't be any different... Most unadjusted results produce a black silhouette with nothing in the dark mass that responds to clawback attempts. So you have to up the exposure enough to burn out all sky past redemption. Even then - the results aren't prizewinners... So don't look at this one except on your mobile phone please! :)
