As we arrive at Parco della Caffarella there’s a Hooded Crow, called a Cornacchia here, frolicking in the flowers.

I would have loved a few more moments with it to get some more images amongst the spring flowers, but it wasn’t to be.

I’m still delighted to have got this quizzical look from it, though.
