Carrion Crow

I must have once fed some Carrion Crows on my regular walks along Swansea seafront; and now, whenever I walk a particular stretch of the coast path, several crows fly up to me as soon as I appear, clearly hoping for more food, and obviously able to distinguish me from other passers-by (mind you, a face like mine, once seen, is not easily forgotten!).
Today, I took advantage of the crows' familiarity by taking a few shots with my 'big gun':

Maybe not the most 'glamorous' birds, but I like them!

  4. Wonderful pictures Jeremy. You'll never guess what I feature in my blog this Wednesday? Crows, of course, but my pictures aren't as good as yours.

  5. I like then too Jeremy. Great shots of a great bird.
    I feed them at my local lake, and like you say, they do remember. :-)
