Waiting for dinner!

A young crow here, I think, of the genus Corvus. (Ravens are a larger species)
Seen on the wall of Lynmouth harbour pier, by the lobster pots.

'The all-black carrion crow is one of the cleverest, most adaptable of our birds. It is often quite fearless, although it can be wary of man. They are fairly solitary, usually found alone or in pairs, although they may form occasional flocks. The closely related hooded crow has recently been split as a separate species.' RSPB

A nice coincidence I am sure. Our birds are quite different but I know which ones are the crows pullers. Glad you liked this one.
