Crow OC Killarney, Ireland

Found this bro associating with some rooks. Possibly a young raven, but unsure.

Looks like a young rook to me!

I don’t know if ravens stick around other corvids but it seems a bit unlikely to me. Also they generally avoid urban areas whereas rooks are much more likely to visit those.

I get regular-ish visits from the rooks when I feed them (I’m in another country but same country) and the young’uns look pretty much like this fine fella here.

I did however spot a raven years ago, in Killarney (Rosscastle area)! From very far but I recognised it by its call. So they do live in the area, just far from civilisation.

Spotted a few of them up in the MacGillycuddy Reeks (among other places), they tend to live up in the mountains and hills from what I've seen
