More like Rooks than Crows.
My garden bird feeders are in direct line of sight by the Rooks nesting in the Brook meadow. During this time they frequently cause havoc on the feeders with up to six of them trying to hang on and take the seed. Subsequently all the flapping and squabbling causes the feeders to shake and sway causing the seed to spill which is then hoovered up by the Ducks.
On the plus side we have two active nest boxes with both Blue and Great Tit feeding young.
An afternoon on the allotments with Loren watching at least 6 Swift hawking overhead and a few House Martin passing over. A few Swallow swooping thru and a female Sparrowhawk on the hunt.
Mammals: Muntjac Deer in the Brook Meadow late afternoon.
Butterflies: Brimstone, Orange Tip, Green-veined White, Holly Blue and Peacock.
