An impressive flock of these charismatic birds; quite a rare species in the Gallery. It looks somewhat similar to the European Hooded Crow - BirdForum Opus. Given that you have much experience with Daurian Jackdaw--more than the vast majority of BF members, who live elsewhere--is there anything you could think of in the way of contributing to this thread that I began a while ago: Macaulay Library: interesting jackdaw from India? Cheers

Sorry but since I have not seen the Eurasian jackdaw, I don't know the species ID of your photo :(
