The house crow

Corvus splendens

Description:

It is between the jackdaw and the carrion crow in size (40 cm (16 in) in length) but is slimmer than either. The forehead, crown, throat and upper breast are a richly glossed black, whilst the neck and breast are a lighter grey-brown in colour. The wings, tail and legs are black. There are regional variations in the thickness of the bill and the depth of colour in areas of the plumage.

Habitat:

of Asian origin but now found in many parts of the world, where they arrived assisted by shipping

Notes:

Their expressions, that seemed to show intelligence, attracted my attention
