Two Birds for you.

Hi,

Two of my shots from Scotland I have just got round to processing,

Probably one of my best Woody shots so far.

Not to sure of what this one is.

Thanks for looking.

Nice pair Stuart especially the "corvid type"
I was gong to say Raven but the beak is to straight
and don't Choughs have a red beak?

No idea sorry

Nicely exposed on the black. Isn't it a carrion crow?

Carrion crow.
I have seen them lift young rabbits then drop them from height before eating them.

Newly emerged (from the burrow) rabbits are not very big.
In springtime when sheep are lambing the ewes sometimes land on their backs & cannot get up. Those crows will take their eyes out.

Makes sence, nature can be crule somtime, but supose it is survival of the fittest.
