Hooded Crow (1 Viewer)

Today, 8 April, I was caught up in a long traffic queue on the M25 before the Dartford Crossing - I was on my way from Norfolk to the Kent coast - and just as a long last the queue began to move steadily, reaching the heady speed of 30mph, I noted two corvids on one of the overhead gantries, just where the road begins to rise to the bridge. As I neared the gantry, while watching carefully the dense traffic (I'd already seen a French truck driver take out, at walking pace, a BMW in his blind spot), I could see that one corvid, which was side-on, was a Hooded Crow; the other was facing me and was partly obscured, and so I could not ID it.

Have there been any other reports of Hooded Crow in that area?

Can't help about the Hoodie but I once saw a Raven in exactly the same spot just before the road raises up towards the bridge. It was flanked either side by a pair of magpies and completely dwarfed them for size.
