Just a quickie as I was walking past a lampost this morning and I saw this crow thingy on top. He wanted to fly down and eat some discarded food on the road but I was too close. He made his views known by making squawking noises at me and moving his body and head up and down. I’m no twitcher so I don’t know what sort of crow thingy it was. Just managed a few scribbles before he flew off in disgust.
I’ll be offline for a few days but when I come back I hope to have some new work to show. See you next week. 🙂

I’m not an expert on crow thingys, but I believe a good guess is that if it is lots it’s likely to be rooks (which are social) and if if is one it’s likely to be a carrion crow (which are not). Jackdaws are smaller and wear little grey balaclavas with black faces poking out of the middle. So I reckon your crow thingy is a real actual crow… unless he had a balaclava on!
ooh thanks. He was definitely on his own and didn’t have a balaclava. Basically, I can tell a budgie from a pigeon and that’s about it 🙂
