Carrion crow cleaning its feathers as it perches on a bare tree, looking down Richmond Road and across to Bantock Park.
This was the one sunny day in mid-July.
The crow’s feathers were wet as it preened itself to clean them. It must have come directly from bathing in one of the many puddles.
These pictures were taken in sequence. The bird didn’t seem to be taking any notice of me as I stood not far from the tree.
