Yep - look at the difference in the beaks. Long, pointy and greyish plus blue-tinged feathers is a rook. Short, stubby and black is a carrion crow.

FOXHUNTER1 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 I know what a rook looks like I've shot hundreds. Believe me as I held them in my hands it was 2 carrion crows. Maybe its just the pic ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
