Description
still day 9 of our trip, got these pics of the hooded crows in the Rose Garden of Kilkenny Castle. Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix) Common resident throughout Ireland. Identification: Slightly larger than a Rook. Ages and sexes are similar in appearance. The head, throat and breast are black, as are the wings and tail. The rest of the body can appear either a rather cold grey or buffish gerey-brown depending on the light. Flight action when relaxed is rather weak, however is quick to pusue rators from nest site. Frequently glides and performs aerobatics on windy days. Call: A variety of loud calls, including a harsh “kraa”, as well as a repeated knocking sound which acts as a “song”. Diet: Omnivorous - including seeds, insects, carrion, young birds and eggs. In coastal areas, will take crabs and molluscs, which may be dropped from a height to crack the hard shell. img139 2118
