clever crows
by derek smart on Jul.07, 2010, under Bird Watching
whilst at work on site at the m74jv project, to relieve my boredom I threw a couple of beef hula hoops out the van window to see what it attracted to the dinner table. Within seconds a carrion crow appeared and scoffed them. I then threw out another couple with the same result. By this time the bag was finished and 30 seconds later the crow flew off in front of the van to the near side verge to watch. So, on to the next packet which I retrieved out of my rucksack with much rustling of the packet. On hearing the rustling the crow was instantly back at my window full of expectancy, so birds do have lugs, and a brain to back them up.
anyone out there spotted any waxwings yet, and happy birthday materials man. can anybody guess his age.

Believe it or not I captured these images on the site of the new M74 at Polmadie, although I suspect the wildlife at night may be somewhat different.
