RIGHT - my topic.
My friend and I were fishing a nice little pond in the very deep south of Buckinghamshire, nice and quiet, just the two of us on it. Nice liitle jay popping around probably feeding its young and then ......
A splash, looked in the direction and see a crow, yep- a crow, flying off with a small fish in its beak.
A little while later, splash, and again, said crow was flying away with another fish. It then started sitting on the edges of the swims watching the water when all of a sudden, it took off, hit the water and came off it with another small fish in its beak.
Five times in all we saw this. Never before have I seen a crow do it. Had it been taking lessons from a passing cormorant or was it trying to acquire
some protection status by pretending to be an osprey?
However, no protection for crows so get the guns out lads.....
