Mystery young bird

by Michael Murray
(Herault, France)


We live in the Herault in the south of France. For the last few weeks there have been 3 of these young birds spending time in an almond tree being fed by 2 magpies. From the books and web they do not look like young magpies. They seem to have a small crest on their heads. Any suggestions (sorry photo not very good).
