Loch Lomond - Inversnaid
Hooded Crow (Corvus cornix) on an SOC Clyde outing to RSPB Inversnaid, taken by David Palmar. Unlike Carrion Crow Corvus corone, Hooded Crow are typically more sociable and will forage in small groups. Both species can interbreed which results in hybrid birds with varying plumages between a grey and black body.
