The Birds

@Adiemus: Actually there were thousands flying around back and forth in our neighborhood and it was hard to miss them I had to use a tele just to make sure they don't bombard me :)

@Still: Too bad the picture didn't come out larger even when I click on 'large'...

@badala: Thanks. Again, it looks much better in a larger size.

@Shuva Brata Deb: That was easy. I waited until 191 birds sat down and shot the picture :)
The halo is a 'unsharp mask' effect - nothing spiritual or so ....

@Cétinsi: merde, you are right ;( I missed that!

@Kerstin: Yes, that's how I found about about them. They were flying around in the neighborhood for a couple of minutes and sitting down from time to time.

@Lyndsey Le: It's a single shot. The postprocessing was a bit of color adjustment and cropping since the original picture had even more birds!!!
