Crow Road

Another walk along the Aberdeen beach road at lunchtime today wet cold wind and just dreich. Photo opportunity’s yes that will be right! So this fella did not move as I walk past, so a Blip.

The all-black carrion crow is one of the cleverest, most adaptable of our birds. It is often quite fearless, although it can be wary of man. They are fairly solitary, usually found alone or in pairs. The closely related hooded crow has recently been split as a separate species. Carrion crows will come to gardens for food and although often cautious initially, they soon learn when it is safe, and will return repeatedly to take advantage of whatever is on offer.

Found almost everywhere, from the centre of cities to upland moorlands, and from woodlands to seashore.
