Home to roost

Posted by
Doug (Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom) on 20 February 2014 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Driving home last week I stopped to take a few shots of the sunset and saw these crows roosting on the wires

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.

Always so hard to make the decision to stop and take photos when on the way home. Sometimes one just want's to get home, but this was well worth the stop.
