Thanks Anthony - a very useful video.

Thanks, Hugh, it is a crow.  Ravens are much bigger and bulkier.  This video is useful in identifying the various British corvids https://www.bto.org/about-birds/bird-id/bto-bird-id-corvids

Thanks Fanie and Hugh

Armando, the first of the Pelican shots is brilliant!

Peter,
Interesting that you post a black crowned night heron, one of the trips I did this vacation period we stayed at a hotel called "garza canela" which is the name for the night heron

The first pelican shot was really a strike of luck , I was shooting something else at low speed and when I saw the bunch of pelicans flying away I had to take the shot, with no time to adjust the camera, I shot a few, and this one came out interesting

Thanks for your comments

this is what I was trying to shoot before the  pelicans flying away, after that I turned around again and got this

Armando - Taking off is very good.  Taking a good photo of a flock taking off is very difficult.  Your photo is visually very interesting, without being cluttered. Well done.

Armando, I love each of the three pelican shots you posted

Just by zooming in on this page, I'd say that the third one also works well as a tighter, horizontal crop.

Thanks Colin, yes it would , I have been indecisive about cropping it closer
