The 2 crows that nest over in the tree every year never even saw it coming through the houses into the garden, lucky i was just coming out the hut at the time and shouted,

Would not say they were quick enough, or streamlined enough, 90 % of there diet is carrion or road kill. But i suppose they would take easy prey if they could. Must have caught the pigeon off guard completly!!

Mate i understood they prefered carrion but not too sure about it.
