House Crow in Fremantle WA

Thanks to Louis Purdy, Damian Baxter, Rob Davis, John Graff for
broadcasting the House Crow today.

It is at the J Shed near the South Mole / Bather’s Beach in Fremantle
on Fleet Street. It has been reported to DAFWA, so I expect it will
get removed in the near future. It was trying to eat a bright yellow
small plastic ball, that the ravens had first had a go at. It was
interacting with the ravens, but if it got too close then the much
larger ravens would push it away.

I had passed up the chance about 15 years ago to check out one on
Rottnest Island (there were two I believe). I also missed going for
the one in Sydney about 10 years ago. So it meant more to me than
some other twitches I have seen recently.

What a year for WA. Crested Honey Buzzard, Eurasian Hobby, Kamchatka
Warbler, Eurasian Curlew, ‘imperial pigeon’ and House Crow.
