The rook

The rook is somewhat similar to the raven, although it is smaller and has a light-colored beak. It is also very sociable and lives in large colonies. They feed almost exclusively on the ground, on which they walk and jump calmly. Their large, strong beak helps them a lot in this.

Very nice shot. It does have an unusual beak

Great shot, I am always confused between the crows and rooks, we have what I assume is crows! But also the smaller Jackdaw!aĺ of course from the same family.

A nice capture of the rook on the snow-covered grass! And thank you for explaining the difference between a rook and a crow. Fav

[Christina]

Great info - I didn't know the difference. It looks like it's cold there, does it hang around for winter?

[Milanie]

Nice clear shot - he stands out well

The light coloured beak is quite different to our crows - and he seems very plump. Such small differences but they make him look quite different. Thanks for the info...
