Carrion Crow (Corvus Corone)
IMG_0653
Plymbridge Woods, Plymouth, the crow was looking for food in part of the 'Old Canal'. the whole area is not just picturesque vistas, but also elements of industrial architecture and an abundance of wildlife.
The Carrion Crow, a large, noisy, intelligent, and inquisitive black bird, is widespread across England, Wales, and much of Scotland, except the far north-west where the Hooded Crow predominates. In Ireland, it is confined to the east, with Hooded Crows elsewhere. Hybrids occur where their ranges overlap. UK populations rose from the 1970s to early 2000s and have since stabilised; the species is on the UK Green List, though controlled in some areas. Distinguished from the Hooded Crow and Rook by its all-black plumage and solitary habits, the Carrion Crow is omnivorous and inhabits diverse environments. It builds large twig nests and breeds once annually in spring.
