Very large..but not anything like the giants at the Tower of London.<br />The other usual birds gave him (her) V E R Y wide birth.CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653106775702366387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-85202816994997660012013-07-30T12:14:07.091+01:002013-07-30T12:14:07.091+01:00No doubt at all, it is a rook.

Last time it was some years ago when I stupidly described a carrion crow as a raven. A rook though is an unusual visitor to The Grove, my only excuse.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-42200197928460464542013-07-30T03:05:10.499+01:002013-07-30T03:05:10.499+01:00That was an interesting video, Carolyn.That was an interesting video, Carolyn.The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-33399762721954011332013-07-29T23:11:32.931+01:002013-07-29T23:11:32.931+01:00Your friend Tristan F. has posted the answer to yo...Your friend Tristan F. has posted the answer to your "white faced Crow.....on his blog<br />http://thenewemotionalblackmailershandbook.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html#7285980833472673936<br /><br />A Rook, not a Crow.<br /><br />Something to Crow about........CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653106775702366387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-81761300760233817032013-07-29T19:28:03.649+01:002013-07-29T19:28:03.649+01:00Perhaps it's just an ordinary crow, but gettin...Perhaps it's just an ordinary crow, but getting on years.

It looked much like your friend from The Grove. If they manage to survive to very old age, they begin growing bald. Eventually, its bill will begin to develop cracks or what is called de-lamination (I think that's right).<br /><br />As Lucas points out, this crow looks healthy. The 'pin-striped' appearance is the bird's denuded wattle. Looks a lot like mine, except mine is pinker.

He also looks quite pint-striped under the chin. A bit of a city gent?Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642126053527835870noreply@blogger.com
