I'm very nice - when they fall, I always put them back. Well, except the ones that fall in the water

A crow standing on a railing of a jetty at the lake. It's the crow's sideways profile - its best side

I expect peanuts because you made me wait like 2 minutes.
Be reasonable. There's more than 30 of you guys

Having a good old scratch under the wind while standing on a concrete pillar Looking judgementally standing on a concrete pillar

What? I've got an itch. You think I've got mites don't you!

A crow on a concrete block looking up at peanuts on a concrete post above it. The crow is busy calculating. Behind the crow is a bridge, tall buildings and below is a row of covered boats

How do I reach the nuts?
I thought crows were supposed to be smart

This is very much true but they don't tolerate uninvited guests, e.g. crows from rival murders. Luckily, where I feed the crows, it's mostly in places where they have no territory of their own and though they fight, it's not as bad as some places. πŸ™‚

A crow on a bench holding up an almost (but not quite) empty packet of peanuts in its beak

If you ignore the crows, they just go self-service

Two crows on a bridge girder cawing. One is leaning back and looking up and the other is cawing downwards and trying to pick up a peanut at the same time

I do like it when the crows put on a show for me

Thanks to his distinctive appearance, I've been able to recognise him easily and here he is in a park that's a couple of Kms from the lake. He seems to be everywhere at once unless he has a doppelganger

I love watching crows working on nuts. I never get bored of it. If you throw a walnut on a paved area when there's a crow around, they'll chase it πŸ˜…

I'll be keeping an eye out for them but I know not to get too close - just leave them be. Hopefully, they'll be able to fly and leave before a fox gets them

I hear them most days at the lake in winter but seeing one is hard. They blend in with the crows in the trees but they're often too timid to come down.
Yesterday, I noticed that the rooks in the city are back. Hard working birds that are busy nest building

A crow standing in the yellow and purple shrubs of one of the flower beds at the lake in Zurich. The shrubs need replacing now. They've lost their colour a bit

The garden needs a tidy up. Everything is looking tired.
I'll let the gardener know. I'm just the photographer.

A crow on bridge standing in front of the camera with its head turned to the side. Behind the crow are trees and something red reflected in the water

What a crazy background reflecting on the water. I almost forgot I was supposed to be photographing the crow

That's true. I'm very busy right now having to decide between food and nesting material

I've never seen a jackdaw fledging. In the early summer, I'll get a chance to see baby rooks and crazily enough, they look just like crows

What a cutie. Love jackdaws. Unlike crows, jackdaws in Zurich are protected as their numbers are in decline

It's amazing to watch a crow carry off a walnut. Here, unlike those video clips of urban crows in Japan, the crows just drop them from a height and swoop down to enjoy a nut that's broken almost perfectly in half

A crow with a lot of its black chest feathers missing exposing the white downy feathers underneath. What is is strange is that the crow moulted last year and emerged looking exactly the same

Those bastards have nicknamed me the burst pillow!

A crow stood on a wall at the lake looking into the distance. Who knows what they are looking at

Little guy is wondering where everyone else is. Especially when there are peanuts!
