| | | Corvid with a yellow beak
Whilst on Portsdown Hill (Hampshire) this morning, I spotted a strange Corvid with a yellow beak. The beak wasn't the usual Corvid beak, it was very much like a gull's beak. I took a shot of it (apologies, it was through my car window)... any ideas what it is?

Yes, we'd stopped off at the burger van for a much-needed breakfast after getting up to catch the sunrise at Bosham (04:15)
The crows are a nuisance on Portsdown Hill, they've learned how to fly onto and fly into the litter bins, dragging absolutely everything they can onto the grassland. When we arrived there at about 06:00am, they'd literally emptied every bin and it looked like an unkempt group of youths had been there!
