Hi all, these were taken while out for a walk today. 20D + 100-400L IS.

The first pic is a Jackdaw I think and the second needs no introduction!

Nice shots, especially the first one. Beautiful golden background really makes the bird and tree stand out.

I like them both. Not being from the UK I have not a clue what the second bird is but I do like its colouring as well as the green (fern?) on the branches.

It's a Robin. I have many photos of these birds but this is the first one that I have noticed so much blue in it's plumage. Do you not have Robins in Canada then?
