Crow family
Explanation
Just as water birds bring life to the Jeker river, crows bring life to the land and air. There are a number of these noisy corvids within the grounds of Tapijn; we will take a closer look at the black crow, the magpie and the jackdaw on this website. Especially in winter, large groups of crows spend the night in the trees along the Sint Hubertuslaan. Finding a suitable place to sleep is quite a noisy job.
When we first started collecting video material, we used to put some dog biscuits in front of a camera so that we could get a better chance of getting animals in the picture. By now we know that this is not necessary at all.
