Correct Simon. It's only recently that I have noticed just how much of a blue/purple sheen some Jackdaws have. Jackdwas are the same as many other crow and raptor species. The semi-adult juvies all have white bases to the wing coverts, and, occasionaly on some individuals, the white is enough to show, some even look chequered.
Too late to have a go, but I would have said Jackdaw too.o
We have Rooks with white wings here, 4 of them, they all came from the same brood & have varying degrees of white feathers. One has white on most of it's wings. It looks strange when it flies.
