A family of Crows were on the tern/gull island on Back Saltholme this morning.

An adult with grey patches in it's plumage and two juveniles, both with grey patches but one with pronounced grey areas on it's back and front with hint of a black medallion on it's chest.

Maybe some Hooded Crow genes in there somewhere?

They don't look to be long fledged and were constantly pestering the adult for food.

One to look out for if they stick around.
