Hooded crow

We were in Newcastle this morning, a walk along the promenade and coffee. This very handsome chap was hopping around the gardens between the road and the promenade, he stayed long enough to get his photo taken! 
The extra is the sculpture at the end of the promenade, with Slieve Donard behind. It was a beautiful spring day, bright and sunny and reasonably warm when we were out of the breeze.
