I watched this crow see off a fox which had walked too near his nest and young. He flew round the fox as he trotted away, and landed several times quite near to reinforce the point, walking deliberately, and I thought agressively, towards the fox. His mate kept watch froma distance, but I've seen the pair doing the same thing to the same fox, who is just walking past on his way home and I'm sure he's uninterested in the crow's nest!
