Jackdaws and rooks gather in huge mixed autumn flocks

Original: Jackdaws (Corvus monedula) and rooks (Corvus frugilegus) often form mixed flocks outside the breeding season. In autumn

Jackdaws and rooks, two closely related corvid species, form mixed flocks outside the breeding season. Through autumn and winter the birds forage together on farmland and congregate at shared roosts that can number in the thousands. Birdwatchers are sharing observations of the seasonal spectacle, noting how the two species feed and roost side by side until spring.

Why now: It is autumn, when these mixed corvid flocks form and birdwatchers are out observing them.
