Much underrated birds in my opinion. Soon be displaying with the mild weather.

It is an interesting looking bird. IQ is nice, I like the expression on the bird's face. Looks like the sun was pretty high here which hurt your shadows as they are still a little dark in some areas.

I love the corvids, probably my favourite group of birds. Love the shot and the colour it shows in the plumage

Magnificent image. Nice details in blacks, and beautiful habitat. Love the concentration of bird.

Thanks very much all. Lyle I have another with the blacks detail lifted but it didn't look quite right to me . I,ll post it to see what peeps think.
Cheers

Hi John, back at last! Well focused and good DOF. Suggest blacks just a tad heavy, I suspect you won't agree but I think the greens are too saturated.
