Crow on Sentinel duty!

He looked like he was on guard duty in the Montrose Basin Nature Reserve this morning. The weather was really dour and I couldn't see many other birds. On the way I called in at the Post Office to post a couple of parcels, and got some money out as well. Got handed some ten pounds -  the new plastic ones. I'd never seen them before  -  honesty they look and feel like toy money.  The Cashier insisted they were real, and were meant to stop fraudsters from making fraudulent ones, but she then said she didn't think it would stop them, they were too clever!
