Wonderful bird portrait Keith.
Enjoy your weekend.

Thank you Jaap...............I'm pleased you like this one!

a very nice pic!

Happy not too hot weekend:)

Thank you Annemarie.

It's quite cool here (around 19-20C).........wet and windy too. So a nice quiet day in :-)

Wow,wow lieber Keith,eine großartige Nahaufnahme zeigst du da,da warst du auch sehr nah dran,hattes nur ein 150er Tele,diese Details sind und wie du schreibst,man sieht,wie sie alles runterwürgt,sie sind ja sehr schlaue Tiere und die Enten haben durch die Finger gechaut,wenn er ihnen alles geklaut hat,jedenfalls gefällt mir deine Aufnahme mit der gierigen Krähe super:))

Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you Wilhelm........it was so funny to watch him scrabbling to get the food first! Glad you like this photo!

My 40-150mm is a very versatile lens. I also use it with a 1.4 teleconverter which takes the reach to 210mm.

dat hij er maar in stikt Keith
het krijoelt van de kraaien die andere vogels het leven verpesten

It wasn't ruining any other birds lives Fred...........there was plenty of food to go round. It is just doing what comes naturally so you can't blame it for that :-)

A wonderful capture with fine detail and the light on the bird makes this a perfect greedy crow portrait !
I like the scattered leaves at its feet and the water colours which help to complete a brilliant image Keith.

Wish you a great weekend,

Thank you kindly Roger...........it was great fun to watch! Glad you enjoyed this one!

A fantastic portrait, Keith !

Gourmand, but not gourmet, this big one bird ! It is lovely enough********

What an impressive specimen and a majestic profile with a superb glance
He is near water.. heat or thirst
Gorgeous image, Keith

A fine shot here of this greedy crow. We sometimes have trouble with them demolishing our fat balls and leaving nothing for the small song birds.

Cheers. Herb

Wow - well that'll teach him not to be greedy. It does look as if he's having problems with his gullet. A brilliant photo
