CHOUGH IN WEST CORNWALL

We caught up with a group of Chough in West Cornwall yesterday.
At one point there were 12 together and surprisingly some had no rings. 
Maybe they originally came from a nest that no-one had located.
Love the way they goose-step instead of hopping & running like most other Crows.

  1. Outstanding discovery, John and Sue. The only place I have seen this species in the UK is on the Isle of Anglesey.
