Crows. In many ways the bane of my life as they destroy my little vegetable patch, but I've the greatest respect for their intelligence too. Probably the most adaptable animal on the planet apart from humans, I've seen them in the middle of the Sahara, inside the Arctic Circle and several thousand metres above sea level.

One of the most nail-biting and exhilarating pieces of footage I've ever seen. Like something from a movie.
