Mass flocks of crows?????

[Steven Gourlay]

I had to travel down to Glasgow this weekend to the dentist, (yep long way for a dentist i know just not changed yet and is a good way of getting down to see my family). Anyway on the way back from Glasgow i see thousands of crows on the middle of the busy A9, i did not see any road kill or anything just large floks of crows, i have no idea if they were rooks as i was driving. This happened about two or three times were they pretty much covered the two lanes north and south.

Any idea other than roadkill why they would sit in the middle of the road?

Hi Steven,
Probably there for the road kill - especially if it was a sunny day. The "Crows" like to eat the insectsand bugs that drop into the road after been killed or stunned after hitting vehicle windscreens!

Cheers for that might have been the main reason just never seen so many on the road and they were not very willing to move at first.
