Is it a Bird, or is it a? London UK (1 Viewer)

First off, I'm not too concerned about this, so feel free to ignore this thread. |=)|

I was playing with manual mode on my camera and zooming right in past 100% on the Laptop afterwards, when I saw what may be a Bird in a tree. I'm well aware that it is probably just a twig/branch/optical illusion, but I thought I'd see what others' think.

I've attached the original image and a close crop. I've also circled the area that the crop was taken from.

So what do you think? Do you even see something that looks like a Bird? And if so, what is it?

EDIT: I just had a premonition that this is going to be moved to the Quizzes sub forum.|=)|

EDIT2: typo corrected

I've just realised that this is probably how things like Bigfoot got started.

Totally unintentional on my part, I really thought it might be a bird.

Bigfoot's foot?

Could be, let's hope I don't get swamped by TV crews.|=)|

I'm not sure if I should be concerned that I'm the only one that can see a bird in the picture. Maybe an appointment with the Optician is due.

I think I can see what you mean as a "Bird",
But going on the colour of it and the "Brown/Biege" shadow in the tree, I think it only a shadow, or a very large house sparrow with a split/forked tail.

I have traced what I think you think is a bird.
drawing is not a strong point of mine, and if my drawing is either correct or in the area you think is a bird it looks like a cockatiel or an Ivory billed woodpecker,

My money is still on a shadow though

Thanks for bothering.|=)|

I'm leaning towards a trick of the light now, and the amount I zoomed in. Still, it was an interesting distraction for a while.
