Dabbling carrion crow, Severn, Bridgnorth

Dabbling carrion crow, Severn, Bridgnorth

At the shallow edge of the sidestream in the Severn at the Bylet in Bridgnorth, a carrion crow, stepped into the water. I noticed what was probably the same the bird walking into the water in the same spot during an earlier visit to the town. That time, it looked like it was after a drink of the water.

This time, its walking was more purposeful. Then it stopped, looked around very carefully, and starte4d turning the pebbles at the bottom of the stream with its beak. Each time it raised its head, it was eating whatever it was that it had caught, still keeping a beady eye on its surroundings.
