One of my favourite birds is the Jackdaw. On the grass bank where I took this shot, just around the corner from my home there is so many that frequent here that I call it 'Jackdaw way'

Nice capture Tony. I really liked seeing these birds when I was in Yorkshire in 2005.

Great exposure.

I HATE trying to get black colored birds! I can never get the exposure just right, like in this one!

This bird is illusive to me, I never see them! Nice shot Tony.

Nice and crisp. The detail of the feathers is great including the water.

Nice shot. Almost looks like a crow...with slight differences. Nice exposure, and the 'water' on the feathers is a nice touch.

You sure got the knack of capturing the detail in these mischevious beggars.
Nice work Tony.
