I was definetly of no relation to a crow etc etc.
I was running across a very open, rural set of boggy, fields.
The fields where ploughed late last year...i'll have a google and see what i come up with. - no trees about. They would fly about sqeeking like a dogs toy and land. Strange wing shape.
Ive got a british countryside book upstairs from when i was a wee nipper...i'll have to find that and see if i can find it.
....its not in the books and ive googled and used some free bird search thingys and cannot find it.
