I think you'd know if they were ravens. Crows or rooks are similar, but ravens are massive compared to both of these; I think you'd know they were different; twice the size of the others.


And the way you tell the difference between crows and rooks, so I've been told, is A crow in a crowd is a rook and a rook on its own is a crow.

there are a few, very vocal and making a right mess of the dog poop. if i dont pick it up right away it is spread a metre sq, then its hard to get it all up.
there are loads down in the village that lay nests all together in certain trees, so i guess these are youngsters finding there own place. im not a fan of them though i do like the magpies as they are so beautiful.

Sound like rooks to me. What do you feed your dogs?  When I had free range hens,my dogs were fed an all in one dry food that was mostly grains. When they were let out first thing, the hens used to mob them trying to get at their poo. Warm breakfast.  :yum:
