Crow in the Sunshine

Crow in the Sunshine
Taken using my car as a hide.........shooting through the open window.

It was a difficult shot to get.........we were parked up next to an ice-cream stall and I nearly dropped my ice-cream cone grabbing my camera from the floor of the car -)))

Thank you kind sir............I'm pleased you like this shot.

You could be right about the ice-cream!

The crows gather round the ice-cream stall because the owner throws them bit of any broken cornets etc! There are also picnic tables nearby, so always the chance of some food :-))

Have a good week yourself Roger!

A fine capture here and as I say to my wife -'stone the crows!' (our little joke). Well done

Cheers. Herb

Thanks Herb............glad you like this one.

Apparently that expression originated in Australia, where people were employed to throw stones at crows (and other birds presumably) to stop them eating their crops. Nice work if you can get it :-)))
