JACKDAWS : Corvus monedula
Where to see them : In flocks in fields or roosting in trees.
Also see CORVIDS / CROWS incl MAGPIES
The jackdaw is often confused with other crows. It is smaller than those described above. It is black, but the sheen of its plumage, can make it look lighter. The pale eyes are also noticeable. The jackdaw call is a familiar hard 'tchack' from which it gets its name. It will commonly nest in chimneys, buildings, rock crevices and tree holes.
