Definetly a Hooded Crow.Which part of the UK are you in Motinot? as they are usually found anywhere North of the border as you get into Scotland and probably in Wales as well.Nice specimen.....

Im here in Northern Ireland...South Armagh, have you heard of it?...i often see these birds..theyre massive...my sister had trouble with them once....pecking at her window early in the mornings....her neighbour called them grey-backs......my husband Ger, said he can remember when he was a lad, they would attack sheep and peck their eyes out!!!!....yuck......i dont know, Tina2, if he is exaggerating a bit!!

Hi Motinot,yes I have heard of South Armagh but have never been there lol.The Hooded Crow will peck out the eyes of sheep,but would have thought that only if the sheep was either dead or very ill.They reckon there is a lot of goodness in the eyes and even in the fish world the eyes are always pecked out first in dead ones eeek.

I have a thing about eyes so don't really like talking about them,so don't ever ask me to get a fly out of your eye lol....

Ok Tina"....lets not talk anymore about sheep, crows, eyes, fish etc ha!

We get quite a few 'hoodies' up here ( Aberdeenshire ) but I don't think I've ever seen one as handsome or well-marked as this chap.
