brown and white crow.

[cuddlepop]

Over the past few weeks I've noticed a brown and white crow in the back garden along with all the other black ones.
at first I thought it was a very young crow whose feathers hadnt changed colour yet.Oh informs me that its at least 10 yeras old and usually hangs about the high school for scraps,this year its decided to stay over hear until the kids are back in school.
Is he right and has anyone else seen such a colour in a crow?:confused

the only black and white 'crow'-like UK birds I know are magpies. Currawongs can be almost black but always have some white somewhere, but they are Australian natives.
