Pied Crow (Corvus albus) in Bratislava

Two weeks ago I heard that somebody took pictures of weird looking crow. I was told that it looks like a Magpie but it's Crow. I was heading home from winter waterbird census. I made short stop just to count birds at Kuchajda Lake. I was already packing my spotting scope when it landed just 30m from me. In a while it flew over my head. I had a bit of luck and made a video of it. Pictures are just cropped frames from video. Most probably the bird is an escapee from captivity but it was great feeling to see this exotic bird flying along Hooded Crows, Jackdaws and gulls. I don't even know how to list it...
