- (continued from previous page)bigger than the crows.
They build their nests on the shore. They lay eggs like crows but they are a bit larger. When the young birds come out they are very ugly. - My father told me this story about a scawld crow.
"One day a scawld crow was coming out to look for food for the young ones and he met a magpie. The scawld crow said to the magpie, "Dont eat my birds". The magpie asked what sort were they and the scawld crow said they were the nicest birds in the wood. The magpie went on and he met the birds and he said, "These cant be they" and he ate them up.- Collector
