two corbies

The subsidiary summit of Arthur's Seat is called Crow Hill.  These corbies were playing on the updrafts at Salisbury Crags.  Juveniles flirting on the wing, in search of their crow for life.

There were lots of them, crows were not rooks in this case. An exception to the rule:
~ If it's a rook it's a crow; if it's crows it's rooks.

Peaks of navigation




Rum Cuillin: Askival, Sgùrr nan Gillean, Anshval and Trollaval. From the summit of Hallival. It is thought most of these names derive from Norse; the Vikings used the mountains as navigational seamarks.
