MOFFER's man on the line - I have cropped it and the red man turns out to be yellow, I reckon, closer-up, so I wonder if he's a railway worker? This should be 2x speed when YT gets around to it.

Looks like a BR track worker to me, they wear bright orange with high-vis reflective stripes, remember from watching all the repair works when Dawlish was damaged in floods!

I've only just started recording today - just in time to see some cam-testing? There was a very smooth pan-around, and a fuzzy view of an erection which I don't expect to stay up to mar the Ospreys' view or provide access for mammalian predators :O :O :O

I can confirm that when Moffer saw him, he was red. When I cropped it, he was yellow with red flashes now 'n then. But in FF, he's definitely orange!
I have diagnosed this to be a rook. Therefore I expect a flood of contradictions :-(
Lovely vid Scylla & looks good for Carrion Crow to my inexpert eye ... just watched BTO vid on the subject in case it was a Raven! Lots of Rooks on my roundabout & over at McD's ... yours is not scruffy enough & beak is wrong! Loved it's expression when rubbing it's beak on the branch, great eyes!

Thank you, WENDY. I did wonder about Carrion Crow - especially as Rooks are not often seen alone. I shall humbly change the title :-)
I did wonder about the shape of the beak - it certainly can't be a mature rook, the colour's wrong. It's a beautiful bird, whether crow or rook.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Wow! Hello, handsome:
I'd say this is definitely a crow - it doesn't look glossy enough to be a rook.
