Rook
Corvus frugilegus
Group: Crows
UK Conservation status:
Not assessed
Rook
How to identify
The Rook's bare, greyish-white face, thinner beak and peaked head distinguish it from the Carrion Crow. Rooks are very sociable birds and you're not likely to see one on its own. They feed and roost in flocks in winter, often together with Jackdaws.
