I've never seen a crow on our feeder before I saw it there on the 9th. and have just found the CF card which I thought I'd lost.  I grabbed the camera wanged the ISO up (800)-light not good and snapped this. It's not the best photo but it's unusual to get them on a feeder. I haven't seen one before or since.

1/640 f5.6 at 400mm. ISO 800 - handheld.

Well caught John. I've seen one once on ours, but it was very twitchy and left before I could reach the camera.

Well, having said I haven't seen it before or since, there was one sitting on the top of the pole this morning but  it didn't hang about which is surprising as they seem quite bold birds .
