3 come all at once!
They're usually too far to snap, but got these just now..
I wish I had a 200-400, or 500mm or 600mm lens!
Spotted this one so decided to take a pic or two 
Then, flew past two ducks! Managed to get one in (even tho it's blurry):
Then back to the crow/blackbird.. but look what I spotted in the top:
A Bird of Prey, too far to make out which... anyone know what it is?
.
Then back to the crow, which decided to fly off!

Looks like a Honey Buzzard Azz. Bit far off to tell for defo though
Nice little sequence of events there. You could do quite a few interesting things with the crow takeoff in CS, theres some great definition between the action and the backdrop. Some definite interest to be exploited in that shot if you wanted.
Fraze.

I really dunno what it could be, possibly a red kite? Even a Honey Buzzard (although I thought they were bigger?).
I know it's been there for years as I've seen it when taking Rocky for walks up there last year and the year before - just never had a decent camera before
Feel free to have a play around with my pics Fraze!
Thanks for the comments both

Just found this on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_birds_of_Wales
.jpg/200px-Milvus_milvus_R(ThKraft).jpg)
Looks pretty similar?
