HOODED CROW

Today is my birthday so we went out to look at a dung heap. Yes, I get taken to all the best places. Apparently a Hooded Crow was seen on it yesterday, but it must have found somewhere less pungent to hang out today.

There was a second dung heap I photographed but I felt this one had better composition, the fence line leading the eye up to the horizon and the line of trees, though not missing the dung heap entirely which would have given a less honest account of my day. Hopefully, some will see a trace of artistic merit in the image.

Apart from that I have had a pleasant relaxing day, pootling in the garden, fiddling with my camera, and playing with my new toys. Thank you S. Off to practice my accordion now!
