Nice pic. We usually have quite a few around but I've not seen any for a while now. I'm sure they'll be back for their winter feed.

Lovely pic Is the strange brow strip that Morph mentioned just a trick of the light?

no, i was wondering about that, but it is apparent on other pictures where its at a different angle.
what could it be? |

Could be a touch of leucism, there was a thread about Leucism in Sparrows and Crows not long back. Here's a poor pic of a Crow showing signs of it. Or it could be just a few feathers out of place and catching the light a little differently.  |

Morph - It's hard to tell. It's quite common to get single white feathers on crows, at least on the local ones.
I hadn't considered Leucism, it's a good suggestion |

In a nutshell its varying degrees of dilution of normal pigmentation in the feathers. | | |
