- Description
- Published records by bird clubs in Port Elizabeth, Kenton-on-Sea and Grahamstown (Makhanda) show that until 1980 Pied Crows were seldom recorded in this sector of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Port Elizabeth, and apparently also East London, was colonised by Pied Crows in the 1980s, whereas the first records for Kenton-on- Sea and Port Alfred on the coast, and also inland in the Grahamstown (Makhanda) area, were after 1990. Since 2010, this species has been recorded more often both on the coast and in the adjacent inland regions. However, records of both Cape Crows and White-necked Ravens have also increased over the same period, suggesting that there has been no species replacement among the local corvids. Citizen-science data provide valuable information on changes in distribution and abundance of this bird species.
