Hoodies at Sker Farm


Graham Roblin found a Hooded Crow at Sker Farm this morning. It was still showing well this afternoon between 13:30 and 16:00. The bird favoured the field (SS798794) with the sheep next to Royal Porthcawl Golf Club although it was quite mobile as the resident corvids arrived in the area to feed and departed regularly. On one occasion the bird flew to Sker Rocks to feed but, only spent a brief period there. One further notable event was when a Herring Gull singled it out from a feeding group of corvids and gave chase through the air but the Hooded Crow was able to avoid the attack easily.
