Crows & Jays in Lincolnshire
6 species matching this filter.
Lincolnshire's expansive farmland, ancient woodlands, and open fenland provide excellent habitat for members of the crow and jay family. Six species of corvid can be found across the county, from the ubiquitous Carrion Crow and sociable Rook to the striking Eurasian Jay and the increasingly widespread Common Raven.
