Abstract
Capsule We describe an instance of joint nesting by Hooded Crows Corvus cornix in Orkney, Scotland, in 2011, where nine eggs were laid in a single nest. As the territory was occupied by a trio of birds that engaged in territory defence as a group, this observation provides strong support for this first record of communal breeding for the species.
