It's surprising how many people here in the UK have got some stunningly rare birds on their list but are missing stuff that breeds here. I blame it all on the rise of twitching / ticking in the early '80s. It's nice to see that people do look at crows though :t:

There again, if you live on Hawai'i you're more likely to have seen Hawaiian Crow than Grey Jay ( sorry about the spelling of the last species - my fingers won't input an A. )

Can be luck of the draw though. In more regular terms (not uber-rarities!) I saw birds like Bittern, Bearded Tit, Marsh Harrier and Chough long before I saw my first Nuthatch or Brent Goose purely because I went to the places where I could see those before I went to the places the latter were found - became rather a sore point as I thought Nuthatches were brilliant and my brother saw lots but the best I managed for ages was to hear one in his local park.

I love watching Crows Chris, they can be fascinating and sometimes give amazing displays. When a peregrine flew over the meadow on my patch last week the big flock of carrion crows all flew up in alarm and they were swirling around and whiffling, which I'd never seen crows do! When I go to Blakeney there are always lots of Jackdaws about and they're always brilliant to watch - very tame too since there are always a lot of people there and they've become accustomed to us.
