Spotted
The House Crow is a common and highly adaptable corvid, strongly associated with human habitation across its extensive range. It is easily recognized by its glossy black plumage with greyish neck and breast.
Where to spot
Widespread across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Also introduced to many other parts of the world, including parts of Africa and Europe, often in urban and suburban areas.
How to spot
Look for its dark plumage, combined with a noticeable grey nape and underside. It is commonly found near human settlements, markets, and waste disposal sites. Listen for its characteristic 'caw-caw' calls.
When to spot
Active year-round, primarily during daylight hours. They are particularly noticeable at dawn and dusk when congregating in large communal roosts.
