The carrion crow and  near relative the hooded crow feature in this extended Tweet of the Day with sound recordist Chris Watson, photographer John McPherson and writer Amy Liptrot.

For decades the the carrion crow and its near relative the hooded crow were thought one and the same species. These highly intelligent and adaptable birds are both loved and for some despised as their presence can be seen as a potent of doom. Today they can be seen as a visible marker of climate change where their range overlaps.
