Rook portrait
Was rather pleased with this - I know he's not doing anything interesting 
and I know he's a 'boring' bird - but I love Rooks a lot - and this was taken the day I read about the rooks using tools in experiments, to show that they are intelligent! 
So this is a celebration of rooks everywhere!

Nonsense Birds are never boring and I like your Rook although he looks a bit on the thin side perhaps the stress of bring up a family.

Thanks both - yes, he does look a bit dull - bless him! They are normally much bluer!

That's a good shot.
Agreed it's not doing anything interesting but as an 'illustrative' shot it shows the bird very clearly.
