its an all to familiar scene up here in morayshire, watch crows scaring the young starlings sparrows etc that are learning to fly out of hedges then attack kill & eat them, had a crow come into my loft a few years back & attacked one of my youngsters and he would wait on a post until the loft was open, i got him in the end but they are clever birds and are prepaired to bide their time to get their prey as it were?? also watch the seagulls taking smaller birds out of the sky & eating them?? and ive not mentiond the dreaded B.O.P s yet
