These two birds were caught in flight incidentally while photographing other species.

Suggestions welcomed.

Thanks Tom

Yes, I thought the first one was probably Jackdaw, the second one looked a bit more intriguing, but it's difficult to come up with an alternative to Corvid.

Impossible to be certain, but I'm getting a feeling of Carrion Crow for #1 and Rook for #2
