This clip shows Louis on the nest peacefully incubating the eggs but at 16.51 a cheeky hooded Crow appears, hops up on the nest and perches on the small left hand perch before moving to the bigger one. Louis raises up but the crow is unmoved. Suddenly there's a flash of feathers and outstretched talons as Dorcha appears and chases it away.
16.50:21 Dorcha leaves since Louis is firmly in place and not looking ready to go fishing for her.
16.50.50 There's a flash of wings on the right underneath the nest and a crow is glimpsed
16.50:58 A Hooded Crow hops up on the nest and perches on the left hand perch, ignoring Louis
16.51.47 Dorcha comes charging in and gets rid of the crow.
