I have been away in Scotland for a week, so will resume posts.
When we arrived at Ullapool on the NW coast of Scotland on a cool afternoon, I was sitting in the car whilst my wife went to stock up for the week. Waiting in the car park I observed this Herring Gull and Crow 'bathing' on the smoking chimneys of a house. I presume that they were not doing this for warmth, but possibly were using the smoke to discourage parasites. On a number of occasions the crow had lifted its wings whilst sitting directly over the smoke coming out of the chimney. I have never seen this before.
Taken from quite a distance, so not as clear as I would have wished.
