The Tannaghmore Crow
This wily old bird sits on the barrier at Tannaghmore Service area, on the A26 road between Antrim and Ballymena, and stares at motorists eating in their cars, knowing that eventually someone will cave in and give it a morsel or two.
(Ok, I’m not an ornithologist, so I don’t know if it’s a crow, or a Jackdaw, or a Rook, or whatever!)
But I do know it was photographed with the Fujifilm X-T5, F=300mm, f/5 @ 1/500th sec on ISO400
Dateline: May 15th 2020
Well, stone the crows! This fellow came and sat beside my car when I was in the petrol station! It was a salutary lesson, one I should have heeded many years ago – that a camera in it’s bag is no use at all! This old crow came and sat a few feet away from me, – cocking its head to give me a good examination… But the Fujifilm X-T30 was tucked away inside its camera bag beside me. By the time I’d got the camera out, he’d walked away along the fence, and then I needed to waste more time changing to a telephoto lens.
