I like it, sharp on not . But surely they're rooks rather than crows - as the old saying goes, “A crow in a crowd is a rook and a rook on its own is a crow”. And the collective noun for rooks is ... a Parliament.

Thanks all! Steve, I thought they were called a murder of crows, so if anyone asks, the image title is there to add drama!!

This was a grab shot and taken as I was walking and approached the crows. I was out with my latest purchase, the D FA HD 28-105mm. They took off as I got near to them which surprised me as I thought they would stay put like the seagulls did further back as I walked the headland. I managed to fire this one frame off.
As I was walking, it's not sharp in areas but I'm alright with that as it adds to feeling of the image.
