He might be aging but there is beauty with age R. Marvelous sharp, and well detailed capture of him, I really like this one.

Thought Frank Sinatra was back. Those sure are blue eyse and they look good in that black body of his. Excellent shot through the window. I have that lens, but without OS. I should drag it out and use it.

Pretty good detail for being through a window. You must keep it pretty clean! LOL.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

He sure has absolutely beautiful colour eyes, some things improve with age. You and your lens are doing perfectly

I have lost part of my black/grey crown too. Nice and sharp image. Frank Sinatra would have been jealous.

---...and slowly lost his black crown---

Although still handsome, King Jackdaw has grown old, Richie. Think it's time for its retirement, lol.

Good image.

Regards, Cornelius.

Richie - Old blue eyes is in a thorny situation here. It looks like the 70-300 is quite nice, by evidence of this photo. Thad

Nice work with the new lens Richie.
Handsome looking crow there :) Easy to see why they are called Vain Jackdaws

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
