I hope blogger's playing tonight cos I should have gone ages ago
These rooks all took off before I was ready for them. It was quite exciting seeing the air go all black and flapping for a moment or two.
Detail from above. (heavily edited). Cor! all those wings. Love them.
Swans tomorrow maybe.
Visiting tomorrow maybe.
Everything tomorrow :)
Sleep well all.

I absolutely adore Ravens..my favoritest bird ever. So lucky of you to have fields of them! Great shot!
Alas Mangey, they are only rooks, not ravens (I believe I did catch a glimpse of raven in Scotland tho:).
One for sorrow, two for joy
Three for a girl, four for a boy
Five for silver, six for gold
And seven for a secret that can't be told.
Or was that about crows?
Are they one in the same?
With a field full--that's a whole lot of secrets!
Oh how nice to be reminded :)
That was about Magpies, Mel, Black and white and irridescent, and thieving nest-raiders to boot!
But rooks have rookeries and all fly home in flocks to roost at night. And are a chess piece.
I will try and find some magpies :)
please take photos of them all taking off!
on the way to Scotland at xmas I tried to take a photo out of the window of the train of black rooks taking off from a brown field over green trees against a blue sky
would have been a nice shot if it had come off, but it didn't
similarly at Easter I tried to get white seagulls and black crows against a green field and blue sky, but failed miserably
am ever hopeful that the more accomplished photographers out there will not only take the shots, but posts them on their sites thus satisfying my craving for such pictures!
pretty please. . .
Somewhere ther's a wonderful shot of starlings taking off in a huge swirl. It was a prizewinning phot somewhere. Sadly I can't remeber where I saw it :(
I've been chasing the whe white seagulls for ages. Got the same craving :)
I mean photo. though I like phot.
Oh and remember!
And 'whe' shouldn't be there at all.
I reallly wasn't concentrating this morning.
did you once post a photo of starling taking off? cos I think I remember seeing something like that once
oh look, you are distracting me from my pre-holiday ironing pile. . . I wonder why that is
;-)
have a good time till I see you (your photos/bl*g/words, I mean!) again
:-)
