| | | Caught in the background A pair of crows have nested in a conifer a few gardens away and we've been watching the three youngsters develop. Yesterday evening one of the parents sat on the top of the tree and I thought I'd try to get a photo of it.
It was more a test of how well or badly I could handhold the camera on full zoom than anything else.
I took a few, none were great or even good photos but accidentally this one has some interesting birds flying in the background.
I think I know what they are but I'd be interested in other views.

| | | Re: Caught in the background Parakeets were my choice too and yes, this was east London, not Scotland.
They seem to be spreading well. Only seen them about 5 times in the last 30 years here, but 3 of those sightings were in the last year.
