Hooded crow  (Corvus cornix)

In Britain, this crow mainly occurs in north and western Scotland, it also occurs in Ireland and on the Isle of Man. Elsewhere it is widespread throughout central and northern Europe between the Arctic in the north to the Mediterranean in the south (5). Where the distributions of carrion and hooded crows meet, there is a zone of interbreeding where hybrids with intermediate plumage occur (4). In Britain, these hybrids arise in a band roughly between Aberdeen and Glasgow (4).

Open woodland, moors, agricultural land where there are groups of trees, town parks and shores where there are woodlands (2).
