A face in the dark (Corvus corone)

I must admit I was puzzled and wondered what the Carrion Crow was looking at. I could see a funny shape in the trees myself, so took a picture, hoping it would become clearer when I downloaded it.

It still looks like a ginormous cow. Obviously this must be the Loch of the Lowes Monster!

Strange what shapes old trees can produce, isn't it LOL

It does look like a big creature lurking behind the tree. Looks as if the Carrion Crow has certainly spotted it. Great picture D! TFS!
