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.

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

    Beautiful birds, and even from the still pictures you can imagine them stomping along

    Hello John, never seen these Chough. I suppose, that this is the Red-billed Chough is?
    (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax)Very special, that curve beak. Great shots!
    Lovely post.
    greetings,
    Maria
