steve_b_wales Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Here in South Wales, our Crows don't make nests out of twigs, grass etc. They make their nests out of barbed wire! The Poacher and I were out after corvids yesterday (we had 26) and came across this nest that was built on top of a dry stone wall. It was made out of strands of barbed wire, and had nesting material in the bottom. We've got some really tough birds here (including the non feathered type as well!)

mickyh Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Used to be a Carrion Crows nest on show in The Hancock Museum,Newcastle made entirely of razor sharp swarf,and lined with wool found in a tree near to an engineering works along the River Tyne. A right work of art it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Looking at the picture I suspect that the nest got predated by crows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
