Not easy to photograph being all black and therefore requiring decent light, to show the feathering, as it was this morning.

Carrion Crow - Beeley Moor
A bird I haven't featured before on the blog but a common sight both around the parks and gardens and on the moor. In the past I have seen congregations of several hundred birds on the moors but numbers are much lower at present and they tend to been seen singley or in small groups of a dozen or so.

Sparrowhawk and Kestrel
Great to see some blue skies for a few days.
I was photographing a hovering Kestrel today when suddenly another bird flashed in to the viewfinder and disappeared just as quickly. I pressed the shutter and got a few photos which captured the incomer, a male Sparrowhawk, quite nicely.
