Good shot? Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Was out last week and stood at the farm gate with a coffee watching the world go by, when I saw a Crow about 300 yards away over the wood, it was carrying something in its beak and floating around in the strong breeze. It repeatedly let go of whatever it was carrying and dropped down maybe 50 yards to catch it, climbed up again a continued to do it. Watched it doing this for a good 5 minutes, fascinating to watch. Anyone else seen similar antics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shot? Posted February 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Whatever it was it was bigger than a nut and was caught before it hit the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob85 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Walking out of work we had to be wary of the seagulls. They would be lifting the mussels out of the bay and dropping them onto the tarmac to crack them open, wouldn't fancy a mussel whacking me on the skull from 50ft+ in the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Very intelligent birds and amusing. Shame they're so destructful and need controlling. Have watched them chasing bits getting blown about on a big lawn. Not good but still chested them around for fun of it. Also seen them throw things flicking their heads. Also riding backs of cows/bulls in the fields. This amused my wife for a while. Edited February 18, 2020 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I worked at a place with a park nearby that had Walnut trees in it. The place I worked was an industrial yard with a concrete car park in the middle. Late summer was always a dodgy time because the Crows would fly over the yard and drop Walnuts onto the concrete to crack them. A few cars got dings in the bodywork.
