Unkown Crow

Unkown Crow

This crow flew into the main scrape with a small group of Collard Crows around dusk last Friday.  I though it may be a jungle crow but would like some confirmation. Neil

This is an interesting one - normally Jungle Crow has a steep forehead, not one that slopes back smoothly from the bill, like this bird.  However, the bill looks rather large for Carrion Crow.

Also, juvenile Jungle Crows sometimes show a sloping forehead.

Not sure which way to call this one. Do you have any more pix?

Crow

Mike,
       He only stayed around for a couple of minutes and we hadn't realised he was in the group until I put the scope on him. As it was around sunset and the light was very low this was the only decent shot I got. Neil.
