I think this is either a carrion crow or common raven...leaning toward carrion crow. I basically have three choices: large-billed crow (ハシブトガラス), carrion crow (ハシボソガラス) or a common raven (ワタリガラス). The Merlin app thought it was a large-billed crow. Anyway, it was posing nicely for me and gave me some incentive to take the time to research these birds I see every day and don't give much thought to.

Not the typical birds you all post, but since she posed for me, she gets posted.

Hi RW,

Variation is certainly the spice of life and you've captured a superbly detailed image of an absolute cutie here - terrific eye-pop too!

(We love photographing our local wild deer - when they let us see them).

Thank you for sharing... :)

Hi Bartosz,

Wow - an absolutely superb composition which draws the viewer in to admire the captivating and utterly wonderful subject (which you nailed!).

Very well seen and beautifully caught - thank you for sharing... :)

Hi David,

Well, whatever it is you captured this beautiful creature perfectly - well judged exposure which reveals the fine feather detail and terrific eye catch-light.

Thank you for sharing... :)

Hi Only RF,

I was showing Karen through the thread last night before we turned in (after a long day making sure the plasterer was kept fully supplied with tea... :cool: ) and I said hang on, where did this come from - and why haven't I seen it before?

So anyway, belatedly (and thread time displacement mysteries aside) - a superb image, absolutely perfect for the B&W treatment and a joy to discover.

Thank you for sharing... :)

From our local Festival of Lights which took place last night. Some of the lights were very impressive. I heard several small children crying as this one approached.

Hi Bryan,

With apologies for the late response (somehow this part of the thread wondered off into an alternative dimension and has only just returned - looking at this image, you may have actually been there as well... :cool: ) - you've captured a fascinating scene (superbly controlled exposure) which draws the viewer in to gaze with wonder at the joy and excitement being evoked by this enchanting community event. Great character and detail in abundance here.

You did well to keep a steady hand and nail the perfect moment!

Thank. you for sharing... :)

Nice work. Crows or any black birds can be a challenge to expose and get details in the blacks.
