Very nicely done. I find crows very difficult.

Excellent shot. Where you lying down?

Thank you! No, I was walking along the top of a breakwater which had a raised wall on the seaward side and the bird was on that.

For some reason this made me think of a shot of a pigeon I took many years ago, in 2011, in the harbour. He was strutting along at my eye level. I'm still fond of the shot. Even though I hate the square crop.

Crop looks fine to me, Levina.

They are difficult indeed and I struggle with correct exposures on crows a lot. In this case the light conditions just turned out favorable to get a proper exposure on it. I was at a harbor pier at the coast where this crow was flying around as well.

Big black blobs aren’t they. And they’re pretty fast flyers too.

The wings on these birds are something else.
