Birds in the Wild

Instead of posting pictures of distant valleys from a height of 8500 feet which I never think turn out well, I took a picture of a bird on a tree. Its probably just a crow but I liked its shiny feathers.
Three good things:
1. Breathless at climbing steps at this altitude but being careful not to trip made it worth while. (we didn't climb up to this height but went on the worlds biggest rotating cable car)
2. A stale bread roll with one limp lettuce leaf, one slice tomato and some white cheese meant I didn't have much lunch - dumped it! OK 'cause I wasn't hungry.
3. Dancing in the dark to Frank Sinatra (by myself)
Despite his dark colour he does blend in with his surrounds. I think I would have ditched the lunch as well (sound decidedly unappetising)

A great shot of this rather angry looking bird with his ruffled feathers -- but what sheen and shine on his plumage -- I think he must be out on the hunt !

I like the composition for this photo and the clarity. Your number three sounds like a nice way to spend an evening. Unless you could get John to join you

@grammyn I asked the barman if he would turn up the music and he said, I will if you dance!!

A rather grumpy looking bird. I love his shiny feathers.

Good idea to ditch the bread roll, it sounds disgusting.

@onewing the food was all awful, Babs! A caught market - nowhere else to get food! Seeing people biting into thick stale pizzas covered in tomato sauce and limp chips - ugh!

He looks a little miffed it you. Bet you'll be hungry for dinner.

@lesip I never get really hungry, Leslie - don't do enough exercise for that. But I figure I won't get so fat as so many I see around me!

You got very nice detail in the black. That's hard to do. Nice photo.

I love crow, even they sometime considered otherwise.

Beautiful surrounds for this capture, the lighting on those black feathers is delightful.
