| Nothing more guaranteed than a load of muck spreading to bring in the corvids, in this particular field a mixed bag including Rooks, Carrion Crow,and Jackdaws |

| They say there is a pecking order, but does this apply in a mixed flock, or just when there is a single species feeding.? |

I am just down the M6 in Cheshire and have similar scenes to yours (but much flatter).
ReplyDeleteLovely images Gordon.
Thanks Andrew, it was looking good in the sun.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Gordon.
Beautiful peaceful looking countryside but I imagine it wouldn't be quiet with all those corvids around.
ReplyDeleteBut still they're smart and handsome. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeletePretty countryside and nice sighting of the blackbirds!
ReplyDeleteHi Gordon I am sure there probably is a pecking order although I don't know if Corvids have one. I did a bit of an experiment with some gulls one day and there diffinately was a pecking order and it was not as I had imagined.
ReplyDeletea delightful series Gordon; I love rural England, and the stone walls
ReplyDeletesuch a pretty area! and i like these smart birds. :)
ReplyDeleteThe rural countryside is so beautiful!!! I find trying to figure out that whole pecking order works quite fascinating; I see this often with the vultures. Take care, Gordon!
ReplyDeleteA mixed bag indeed - crows of all sorts are good to watch.
ReplyDeleteHave you read Crow Country by Mark Cocker - its a very good book.
Little pulse of homesickness at the last two images!
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW

Thank you all for your comments, and Stewart those two last pics where specially for you.
ReplyDeleteAll the best every one and thanks,
Beautiful. I really like the seaguls below too. Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery. Crows are fun to watch and they can be very loud.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my Blog. You have a lovely Blog to follow. I enjoy seeing the different birds in the UK. My sis lives in Scotland, wish she would do a birding Blog!
ReplyDeleteThumbs up for the views of rural England and the countryside would be a poorer place without the intelligent Corvids.
ReplyDeleteYes, i've noticed the corvids beginning to form flocks, but as to your question....? Nice part of the world you live Gordon.
ReplyDeleteGordon, I really enjoyed your post! I'm not sure how or even if the pecking order applies to flocks of Corvids. If I find out, I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful countryside you live in!
Thanks for that Wally, Its good to have your input, and thankyou to every one for your comments.
DeleteAll the best Gordon.
