• All of the above Crow species may be found in the UK although the obliging Jay was photographed in the South of France. Ravens have been extending their range recently, particularly along the east coast. The wedge-shaped tail is a useful identification feature when making a comparison with the other black crows. Rooks may be readily separated by their prominent, heavy and rather pale bills. Choughs are rather rare, coastal in distribution and their downcurved red bills are distinctive.
