So for starters a jackdaw and a black headed gull

Here's a shot of a big old black Crow that watched me when I went for breakfast at the Hungry Hiker on Hengistbury the other day. It was an almost white sky with early morning mist so I have added a colour wash to the sky. I love the detail and subtle colours of these birds

This swan has her nest in the middle of a small bone shaed ond in the middle of a private field just down the road from my office.

Muscat. Love that shot of the dove drinking, especially how the water is bubbling up! Must have a play with some shots of water.

All the best, Mike.

Re: Post Ordinary birds here

A few from the garden today, the adult Blackbird is a bit grainy from 1600iso and the juvenile is a bit soft round the eye but I thought I'd post anyway
