Loathingland Lake

Meaningful attachment with Corvides, how amazing is Fungi?

 

 

While walking along the north side of Lake Loathingland two CROWS where perched on one of the wrecked steam hulks. One had taken up position on the bow and the other was perched half way along about 20 feet away. The bird on the bow (We shall call him fungi) spent just a few minuets in the position but seemed very interested in something that was in the old timbers. Within seconds he had it in his beak and flew to a puddle that was 35 feet away from me. In my opinion he had stashed this food source and was now proceeding to dunk and then eat it which he did. (PIC 1) fungi took for pieces from it and eat them and then walked towards me. Not the least concerned that I was there and proceeded to hide what was left of his food source. The thing was that he had deposited no less than 12 feet from where I was standing. (PIC 2) When he completed this action fungi walked in front of me and gave me a good look. (PIC 3) and walk of to sit on his hulk again. Where the picture was taken above. I then went and looked for his stash and he was not at all concerned. (PIC 4) All this time his mate was watching but with no interest.

The following is a matter of opinion:

1. Fungi was using me by being bold so that his mate would be intimidated by me.
2.  It was also obvious that fungi's stash was well concealed as both the food item and the concrete rumble are of much the same in visual character.
3. He had in fact pushed the food source down between to stones and covered it by a leaf so it could not be seen.
4. I have no idea what he was eating but in my opinion his name is a clue.
