Mistley Quay.

(Corvus frugilegus) I find nailing exposure on a black bird in flight quite difficult so I was pleased with this one.

Rook - Corvus Frugilegus

I was sitting on a rock snapping away at what ever passed! Manningtree estuary.

At Ogmore by sea. munching on a Wayne Withers sandwich

There is a colony of rooks nearby, but they don't normally get close to the house. These nuts were too tempting though.

I am going to be completely honest with you - I think it's a rook, but I'm not sure.

And no, I wasn't very close at all - this is zoomed in when the bird was sitting on a low roof a few metres from me, on a small temple next to Sensō-ji.

Thanks for viewing my photos

2016

High in the sky over our garden yesterday. I looked up because the rook was screaming at the buzzard as it chased it away. I had to zoom in to get a halfway decent photo.

As it was windy and chilly today so I've been filing and backing up photos so these are from 2017

Not the prettiest of the corvids but quite an endearing bird and stunning in the sunshine
