Crows

When I first came to Germany I was struck by this type of crow, which I wasn't familiar with from the south of England:

Turns out it's a Hooded Crow, Corvus cornix, which does appear in the UK, but just not in the southeast; they are mostly in Ireland and Scotland.

In Germany they live along the Elbe, but are otherwise no more common.
