Kanatake walk November 20th

I expected it to be rather cold, but the sunshine was nice and though the wind was a bit nasty at times we were mostly comfortable. last month we had seen a number of birds, so I took a 420mm lens. The results are not all very good, specially since most birds were absent... except for the Rooks
