Black and White birds

Three black and white photos I want to share with you today :)

Mr. crow from the botanical gardens - these photos are all film that I converted to black and white, you might remember seeing digital verions of them from other posts. I have this habit when I like a shot I take it both digitally and in film just in case the film shot doesn't turn out.   Lately I've been trying to trust myself + film more not to have to do that :p

Mr Pelican, such nice light that day though any camera could of take a great shot :)

And poor mr. bird. - the beach was (horrifically) littered in these dead Sea birds.   It was the saddest thing I'd seen in a while.  I tried to get all detective and work out their cause of death but yeah turns out I'm no marine biologist, so all I was left with was just some bad guesses.
