I apologise for the poorer than normal quality of this photograph. In my defence, it was an extremely dull and dreary day and the rain was pouring down, necessitating the use of a much higher than usual ISO setting......and the wee birds were, as is their norm, a long distance away. It was, however, nice to be able to capture them together.

I know that the Carrion Crow is an extremely common bird, but I couldn't resist taking a picture of this example's extraordinarily striking and beautiful feather detail.
