Here are a few very fast shutter speed 'action' shots from the weekend.
I was busy throwing some bits of bread to a couple of crows on the opposite side of a small river bank, when I accidentally threw a piece short and it landed on the water. One of the crows looked at it for a second and then flew over it and scooped it out.
I was quite impressed by the agility of such a big bird and so I tempted it to repeat its performance a few times, by throwing in more bread
. The resultant pictures show not just the various wing and feather positions during flight, but also the true (blue) colour of those oily crow feathers.
