A Vocal Pied Crow Says ‘Are You Alright?’ to a Visitor at the Knaresborough Castle in North Yorkshire, UK

While visiting Knaresborough Castle in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, England in 2017, birdwatching nature photographer Claire Connor encountered at the entrance a vocal pied crow. The raven-like bird was a bit camera shy at first, but soon recovered and said “Are You Alright?” to the inquisitive photographer. Unlike another talking bird, this one did not have a Northern accent.
