A few of these birds inhabit the precipitous parts of the coast, where they breed in company with the falcon, kestrel, gull, guillemot, etc. The raven will tame pretty well; it will talk hoarsely, and do mischievous tricks.
Corvus corone [Carrion Crow], and
Corvus cornix [Hooded Crow].
Both occur in about equal numbers. (See [p. 271].)
Corvus frugilegus [The Rook].
Many large rookeries exist in the county. (See [p. 126].)
Corvus monedula [The Jackdaw].
Very plentiful. (See [p. 25].)
Corvus pica [Magpie].
One of the most bashful of birds. It is very sparingly distributed, and in some places is scarcely known. Our keepers both shoot and trap them wherever found.
