Jackdaw Feather Detail

It's too hot and dry here, so most birds are in hiding. A few jackdaws were pecking around, and I rather liked this shot - I've not noticed iridescence on them before (only on some of their fellow corvids).

Prospect Park, Reading, UK circa 28 degrees C at 9am and getting hotter (OK, some of you have it much worse)

Canon R5 MkII + RF200-800.

That is clearly a crow.

Corvid, yes, Crow no.
