A high contrast black and white image of a rook, perced on a wooden railing. It's keeping an eye on the photographer, in case he turns out to be dangerous or made out of food.

There's rooks, crows and jackdaws around here, and it gets pretty easy to tell them apart. Rooks are slightly bigger than crows and have a thicker, bigger beak (often with the lighter bit near the head). Jackdaws are slightly smaller than crows, and they have this silver-grey top and back of the head

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I shot a took, here. I'll see if I can confirm with a colleague, who is a massive birder, but I'm already pretty confident.

Edit: my confidence was, alas, unfounded, my photo was of a carrion crow.
