Overdosing on the hooded crow in Ashton

A few more photos of the hooded crow in Ashton-in-Makerfield. In bright sunlight such as today the pale grey in its plumage looks almost silvery, in fact it's a really smart bird.

When it's not on Ashton Heath the hoodie often spends time on Haydock Park racecourse when it is also in St Helens, Merseyside.

This raven flew over whilst I was watching the crow, one of six species of corvid today.
