crow

Very ordinary but VERY clever and sly Crow )))

In flight over the Niida River

if this bird looks a bit odd, well the wind is ruffling its feathers

It's hard to get detail on these flying shadows. Looks like he's wearing his black leather gloves just to enhance that spooky effect.

First day - ever! - in Prague. A mystery why I've never been here before, but glad to have finally made it. First day we had a guided tour. That gives an overview, but doesn't allow time to wait for birds to pose in the trees, the tour being mainly focused on buildings and cultural history...

This was taken with my 500mm f5 refractor. I had luck.

My BF birding friend Bobmoose has asked my opinion on adding a 1.4X to the 1-400L with the 7D. I have not tried out this, but I think in a few links in the forum, very good description has been made on the combo. However, I still brought out and have a go. (I didn't use my Canon, but use my...

Another old shot

It's taken me SIX YEARS to finally get a sharp, bright image of a crow. They're always in a bad light or flying away from me.
