Black and white photograph of 3 hooded crows in an urban park. One crow is standing is standing in the middle of the frame, and is in focus, looking at the camera with a stern expression. There's a crow on his left and right, in the background and a bit out of focus, facing the camera as well. It looks as if the one in the front/middle is about to beat up the photographer, with two crows being his bodyguard in the background.

Portrait of an adult herring gull in winter plumage, zoonmed in on her face. She has a lot of brown/gray stripes, which makes her face look kind of dark. Her beak is on the small side for a herring gull, and has a faded orange/yellow color. Her eyes are yellow, with few very specks on the iris. In front of her is a larger herring gull, completely out of focus. The background are out of focus buildings, creating a blurry gradient.

Her iris is yellow/light green, with a black pupil that reflects the sunlight and 3-4 tiny barely noticeable black specks on the iris. Around the eye there's an orange circle, out of which tiny white feathers grow, almost like white eyelashes.
