Can't post the close up of the Crow, showing its beak! I keep getting the message - "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached."
So I must be in some breach of rules
This link shows the difference between Crows and Rooks. The shape of the beak is the givaway.

Never had so many 'crows' crowing it here every morning - always wonder what they're on about

Saw a jay this morning early. Not in the garden; I was bowling along and it flew in front of the car and then very obligingly landed in a tree so I could tell what it was

Good start
