mjr88 50 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi all I went out early last night for a couple of hours with my lanber 12g and managed to get a couple of woodies and what looks like a crow . As i've mainly shot ground game over the years with rifles , i am quite new to bird shooting and was therefore wondering if this is a young crow or a rook . Sorry about the picture quality but i had to use my mobile , John Quote Link to post
