A
most bizarre moment occurred today whilst seawatching. A Stock Dove was seen coming in off
the sea and it
was just about to make landfall when a Carrion Crow started to attack
it. Struggling in the strong southerly wind, with a Carrion Crow on its tail, it
crash landed into the Observation tower at
IG`s feet!!
