This brave one let me get close and even came up to me🙂 I was also surprised by the encounter, as I always walk past the field where I saw on this day two rooks, and there were usually only carrion crows there😄

🇺🇸: The rook (Corvus frugilegus) is one of the four European species of the genus Corvus in the family Corvidae. The rook is hardly confused in its adult plumage. young birds can be confused with the equally large carrion crow (C. corone corone). The wingspan is 98 centimetres. The plumage of the approximately 46 centimetre tall rook is uniformly black, with a slightly reddish sheen. Depending on the light, the crown and neck shimmer greenish or violet-metallic. The base of the beak of the adult birds is bare and scabby-whitish, that of the young birds is still feathered. As with all Corvus species, the food of the rook is extremely varied. Although it prefers plant-based food, the latter is nevertheless moderately predominant, accounting for three fifths. Earthworms, various species of crane flies, beetles and their developmental stages as well as slugs are among the preferred prey.
