Earlier in the week I posted some shots of a jackdaw and rook. Today I'm posting two more of the corvid family: the crow and the magpie. The crow was photographed from our garden.
The magpie was spotted down at Sheepcote Valley, towards the end of the day.
The next shot was also taken at Sheepcote. It's a small flock (tentatively identified, but I could be wrong) of meadow pipits. They're related to the rock pipits I more frequently see at Rottingdean along the undercliff walk.
And now to the sunset… 
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

30 Jan 2012Adele, well I'm fairly sure they're not rock pipits, and I think tree pipits are darker which begins to narrow it down; but I'm never too sure.
