Nothing new in my sights today,this looks as though the crow is holding a stick for some reason,its not nest building time.

Good job on the crow. Looks like he might be getting ready for battle.

Never thought of that,i did wonder if he was using it as a tool

There was a David Suzuki episode of "The Nature of Things" called "A Murder of Crows". In it he talks about how intelligent crows really are and he showed them using sticks as tools to reach things.

MikeW, great capture on the crow. With their black feathers they can be tough to strike the balance of not blowing out the background while capturing the feather detail.

That was an excellent program too.

Yes crows are waaaaaay too damn smart and their buddies the Ravens are worse! Black subjects with dark eyes are very hard to capture but you pulled it off

Fantastic Crow shot! I bet he was waiting to club him an unwary photographer. I hear they like shiny camera kit.

Today's safety shot was a quick grab on the docks,i had to nip on there but your not allowed to take pictures

Day 6

This is one from the park,all that water and the ducks where queuing up to drink the clean water

Played a bit with it and it looks to me a bit like they are frozen in ice

I'm waiting till the summer then there will be more stuff to photograph, At the moment its dull and dreary and not much about.

But as you say as long as we get the one a day. that's the main thing.

Well its been one of those days,didnt feel like taking pictures so just walked down the road to a row of Victorian terrace houses,we call them spectical row due to the round windows,came home worked the picture then noticed the exif had tomorrows date so needed a new picture for today.

This should have been my post

This is my new one

Day 7

 

[mikew_RIP]

Ime just too honest,it looks like putting a frame around it has wiped the exif

 

[Scott Murray]

Great photos.
