I've been going up to Ardersier for a few years now and most mornings I'm up and away along the shore with a camera, see what there is to be seen. I've quite often seen a lone Hooded Crow on the shoreline picking around but, it's very wary and usually flies off when I get closer or, it's too dull for any decent shots with the long lens. However, this July I was up, wandering along the shoreline around the Fort as is my want of a bright morning, when I spotted the Hooded Crow up ahead, standing on one of the many old posts along the shore. Nothing unusual there, apart from the fact that it was good light and the bird stayed in place for me to get a shot or three. Then ........ it was joined by a Carrion Crow (tbc?) and they definitely behaved like a pair.
Now, I'm no expert in very much at all but, if this is what I saw, how unusual is it?
Love to hear your thoughts on this, I'm off up again this weekend, maybe see and capture more.
Cheers a'
