Do you have one team member with white feathers on the wing edges?<br /><br />P.Pete: thank you, and thank you for the photograph. Sometimes I feel that I'm being allowed to live in the crow world!

They regrouped on a tree and sent recce parties out two birds at a time in all directions for the rest of the day - such team work!Janehttp://jeeandme.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3430310340733122486.post-82328347470789395012011-05-21T18:16:30.495+01:002011-05-21T18:16:30.495+01:00Marigold Jam: how wonderful that you have cranes i...Marigold Jam: how wonderful that you have cranes in Somerset.<br />Yes, I assumed that it was too late for imprinting to take place.

Perhaps if you had dressed up so as not to look like a human he wouldn't have become so dependant on you - here in Somerset cranes have been reintroduced and the people who have been caring for them have had to dress up so that the birds don't come to associate food with humans! So maybe it isn't only rooks and jackdaws etc!Marigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.com
