Rook or Raven (1 Viewer)

[Scozmos]

I took a wander up by Backwater reservoir yesterday and saw very little, blooming freezing though so I don't blame them. I did see this, a pair of them I think and I don't know if it is a Raven or Rook? By the beak I think Raven?

Thanks in advance. There are a LOT of Rooks, Crows, Jackdaws around here, they fly over almost every morning, heading up the glens somewhere?

Could you say where this is, please? Thanks.
Looks like a carrion crow.

Backwater Reservoir is in Angus, Scotland. I agree it's a Carrion Crow.

Thanks both, the beak just looked huge in some angles.

Carrion Crow for me as well.

Here is a great comparison shot in flight of both birds. Note how absolutely MASSIVE the Raven is - and how heavy the head / beak are. Your bird is a Carrion Crow.

Did a lightning tour of the farmlands this morning with Kojak (who had to get back for 1pm) . Ebird list HERE . Highlight was a Raven...
