Halfway up an Alp
Nice action shot Brenda! Even in a flight photo I think you'd be able to see feathers covering the legs on a Rook, and the bill shape is more 'conical' (and it's pale of course). difficult on a still image, but Rooks always seem to me to have more 'swept back' wing shape when they're flying too. I'm pretty sure you've photographed a Carrion Crow on this occasion (I'd be jealous if it was a Rook, as I've never seen one up here, or a Jackdaw for that matter - I just have to be content with Nutcrackers and Ravens instead).
Saw a Common Swift yesterday, and another one this morning, very late for here, has anyone else seen Swift recently?
