In the hills around me in the Valencia region we have choughs that live in the steep faces of the hills.  They seem to live in large groups.

Alpine Choughs are quite approachable and love cheese.:lol:



Trouble is the message goes out when cheese is about.




Fortune favours the bravest

Interesting pixs Eric. The ones I saw in Spain knew the cable car came up with tourists and food as did the many Long Tailed Fiscal Shrikes in Niarobi Game Park have a serious likeing to marmalade sandwiches!

And why not? I like them too!  Lovely bird. Almost a cross between a magpie and a shrike with that tail.

Was looking at some D3X with Nikon 300mm lens images from S Africa trip 2010 this is not big blow up so 80% of image 1600 ISO 1/160 sec at f5.6: Quite a lot of noise compared with what we can do now with D500 and even better with D850.
