Thanks Steve. The first two are I think Ravens.(Much bigger). The last one is a Jackdaw. The birds were in two different places.

Yes thats why I asked Nat , the third one is definitely a Jackdaw , not sure on the first two could be a carrion crow

Re: Raven on the lookout!

yep top two are carrion crows ,the bottom one a jackdaw ,personally i think that all three could do with constructive cropping ,as theres way to much negative space in all the pics .
i.e the jackdaw could be cut in half top to bottom with a 16x9 crop and still be good ,forget the middle shot and use the top one a square crop lowering the sky slightly and moving bird to the left again would look good ,as it has something to look into .
if you get to the high tide on the tues nat i,m gonna have to give you a talking to

Re: Raven on the lookout!

The birds were on the lookout for the Peregrine Falcons which were hovering around the old Quarry & cliff. I know I can crop the bird a bit more but I am rather reluctant in case the IQ degrades!!!

Jeff,not sure about the 17th Monday (or is it the 18th? Tues)? I have a hospital appointment on 13th & 14th,next week.Depends on how I feel afterwards. A bit of a nuisance getting "old"!!!!
