I think you'll find they are rooks, dande. The white beaks give them away.

They could well be Spades - my corvid identification is usually very weak - they always get classes as crows

Whoever wants a real Milka cow to be lilac this Easter is a moron on planet yuron. Gangrene Ganges and Yellow River and nuke Ft. Fuji **** and make plans for Nigel too, no doubt. Let's hope it won't be a Black Spring after all...

That old looks worthy of conservation. Cannot say the same for the new.

Looking at that eagle photo, it confirms my feeling that bird's wings are the equivalent of our legs and their 'legs and feet/claws' the equivalent of our arms.

Attempt at capturing Star Trails last night.

Took 3 photos lengths around 10, 20 & 40 minutes.

Was windy hence movement of bushes.

This is one automatically created in Google photos and I think is an overlapping over 40 minute image with one of the others.

707 seconds
1409 seconds
2447 seconds

I mistakenly used f/3.5 rather than say f/11.
