The commonest of the black members of the Corvid family. The Crow like the related Magpie has a somewhat evil reputation in folk-lore and literature (eg Hitchcocks ‘the birds’), but it undoubtedly a very clever bird and able to adapt to new surroundings and opportunities.
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
