Rooks? (repost - it disappeared?!)
Sometimes I'm serious and sometimes not, but I consider sarcasm an artform. Which is it today?
The OP's last login was in 2011. He may have lost interest!
The OP will probably receive an email from this renewed interest and maybe come back. If he does, he can finally get some sleep, knowing what this bird actually is

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!
I always have problem telling crows from rooks and ravens. At least magpies are distinct So thank you for helping that one out.
And they are very difficult to get the 'shades of black' right.
Cheers,

Welcome back Michal, and I'm sorry nobody responded to your query when you first posted it.
There are/were plenty of birdy people on here back then and I'm really surprised nobody answered. Anyway, query resolved.
Well part of the query anyway. There's also the bit about getting the shades of black right, which is a bit more difficult!

I took these pictures 2 weeks ago - am I right these are rooks?
Both pictures handheld, DA 55-300mm @300mm, full crop (100% scale) - They were a bit far. The first one was taken with shutter 180, so it's a bit unsharp. The second was better, but there is some purple fringing and I really couldn't get the 'shades of black' correct - it was all black or noisy. I tried my best - and I'm afraid it is not that good. What do you think?
