FalconFN Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Great stuff. Despite many holidays in Cornwall I've never seen one in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a member of the crow family,apparently only a couple of hundred breeding pairs which does surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I would like to see one. Good photo. I gather that they declined in number when less cows were grazed on the grassland running up to the cliff tops. Less cows, less cow pats, less flies and beetles less choughs.
