great capture, an Australian Raven I think (still a type of crow) distinguished by its light blue/white eyes, .... nicely done
cheers

Thank you Canis, Yes crows, ravens and carrion eaters are looked down on. All they doing is surviving.

Thanks, much appreciated, the shutter was at1250th of second and there is some blurring of the feathers, i do not mind the effect, but will try for bit higher speed next outing to compare the effect.
