I can never make the difference between a "corbeau" and "corneille" I tried to find the exact English words for these but couldn't make it out: rook or crow? One has a straight beak the other a slightly bent one, one hops the other one walks... Nice shot.
There beauties Bob, really nice shots. I really must get some myself.
