Berlin interlude – Hooded crows

Hooded crow

Two members of the crow family today. Here is the hooded crow, a bird which only turns up in the wild in Britain in Scotland and on the Isle of Man. They look like carrion crows with fancier plumage – indeed the two species can hybridise where their ranges overlap.

On a previous visit to Berlin in the autumn I noticed a fair few of these birds around. But this time, in the middle of winter, they seemed to be everywhere across the city centre.
