Spotted by
The Eurasian Jackdaw is a small, intelligent crow with glossy black plumage and a distinctive pale grey nape. Highly social, these birds are often seen in noisy flocks in urban and rural environments. They are known for their inquisitive nature.
Where to spot
Widespread across Europe, western Asia, and North Africa. They are common in towns, parks, farmlands, open woodlands, and coastal cliffs.
How to spot
Identify them by their smaller size compared to other crows, distinctive grey nape, and piercing pale eyes. Listen for their characteristic 'chack-chack' calls. They are often found foraging on the ground or perched on buildings.
When to spot
Present year-round in most of their range. They are very active during the day, especially around dawn and dusk when commuting to and from roosting sites.
