| The crow in the nest can be seen here |
Walking back home after checking up on my dad I noticed a kerfuffle up in the tree on the corner of the road. A pair of carrion crows have been nesting up there for a week, attracting the attentions of the magpies and jackdaws in the process. I assumed this was more of the same but I was wrong. It was another crow obviously intent on breaking up the happy home one way or another.
It's a strange thing but the crows, which are usually muscularly assertive, quite meekly accept the intrusions of the other birds so long as they stay a beak's length away from the nest. Possibly being old hands at the lark themselves they're careful not to be lured away from their nest by any diversionary tactics.
