Animal colours : Grey predominant Birds [ rules below, dont make me DQ you for the sake of a few moments to read the rules ]

Challenge #35 in the The Company Of Animals series. Hosted by Patchandcrew.

Challenge has finished

Next in the animal colours set, lets see your best shots of any species of bird whose feathers are predominantly grey [ other colours/markings are fine but there must be clearly more grey than other colours *within shot*, ie a white/mostly grey face but dark body should result in a head portrait entry, if the balance is too far from grey predominant I will DQ ;) ]. If unsure please ask ;)
