Young birds can keep traces of their juvenile bill pattern for up to 15 months, why it is necessary to pay attention to details when claiming Carrion Crows, where Rooks are common and the crow is not. This, of course, means that you can meet young rooks without the adult looking bill all through the year.

Subspecies: [frugilegus by location] Juvenile. The long point all black bill is characteristic of the young bird. Also the head shape is distinctly pointed, normally making it easy to separate from especially Carrion Crow, which, albeit, is rare in this part of the country. |

Second calendar year. Villahøj. Young bird beginning to show the pale horn color to the base of the bill, but still with extensive nasal tufts. |

Study of young birds. When looking like this with strong dagger like bills there shouldn't be any difficulties separating it from a Carrion Crow. Interesting to see how different the head shape is between the two. |

Second calendar year. Reference photos to show variability of bill parts on young birds. I think they are all of the same bird, though no 3 looks different. Same spot though. |

Adult. Many confident birds present today of various species. Wet grass-fields and strong wind always seems to provoke action. |
