Description
Pied currawong (Strepera graculina) stealing a grape, Canberra, Australia. Currawongs are quite fond of grapes - they will take them before they are sweet enough to pick for the table and they can descend in droves to strip vines that are not netted.

What a great capture, Werner! The greens of the grapes contrast so nicely against the blacks and greys of the bird's feathers. L/f
Werner Padarin replied:
Thank you Sonja, glad you like the shot - that colour contrast just emphasises these birds' presence - just helps rub in that I'm losing those nice grapes to them ... ;-)

Fabulous photo of a Currawong, a bird that is new to me, with great pose, clarity and composition, Werner! I can see why this species might not be loved by wine producing farms! F/L
Werner Padarin replied:
Thank you Morris! There are actually "worse" species, including Myna birds which don't take the whole grape, but just peck holes leaving the whole bunch to rot - most vineyards seem to net their vines - just people like me who like to have a few grapes to eat at home ...
