These are definately rooks and very charismatic birds they are too. It is very unusual to find them in gardens, being birds of the open countryside. They are fabulous birds and you are very lucky to have them. There is a lot of folklore concerning rooks. Not least that if rooks desert a farm, the farm is surely going to die.

To my mind, they are the true sound of the country. Beautiful birds of the crow family.

Toto i spend last night looking them up on the net, so much folklore surrounding these birds, it made amazing reading

Very true Irish. You'd also be surprised at much of the folklore that surrounds animals and plants. It is wonderful to read.
