    I love the Crow family, they all seem to have such character. Lovely shot of ol' blue eyes.

    Not many agree but I think their rather beautiful.

    Have you seen the recent footage of members of the crow family solving puzzles, including the Aesop fable 'stones in a jar of water'?

    Hi silverpebble.

    Thanks for the interesting link. It is amazing really that they can do that. I suppose we underestimate a lot of the animal and bird kingdoms. Not the easiest of birds to photograph and do them justice.
