Great photo of crows Sean. These beautiful and much persecuted birds are highly intelligent and are one of the few creatures that can shape and use tools. Their cognitive ability is considered to be equal to great apes.
Gene…Many thanks for that much appreciated information. I was quite amazed that the three crows almost posed for the photograph!
The “crows”are in fact rooks.
The rook is a member of the crow family in the passerine order of birds. It is found in the Palearctic, its range extending from Scandinavia and western Europe to eastern Siberia. It is a large, gregarious, black-feathered bird, distinguished from similar species by the whitish featherless area on the face. Wikipedia
I hope you will forgive me for pointing that out but they’re probably my favourite bird.
