Friendly Carrion Crow

Friendly Carrion Crow (Corvus corone)

Thank you for the kind comments on the Pied Wagtail.

This, from 10 days ago, was the third date on which a Carrion Crow chose to perch right outside my open window and pose for photographs at almost point blank range. The bird certainly knew I was there, and wasn't bothered. It would be nice to think it's the same individual each time, of course! They're usually pretty wary. The light was poor, so ISO 3200.

Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding!
