Crows & Jays in Suffolk
6 species matching this filter.
Suffolk's diverse landscapes, from arable farmland and ancient woodland to coastal marshes and heathland, provide excellent habitat for six species of crows and jays. The county supports thriving populations of familiar corvids such as the Carrion Crow, Rook, and Jackdaw, while the striking Eurasian Jay can be spotted in wooded areas and the unmistakable Magpie is a common garden visitor. In recent years, the Common Raven has been recolonising Suffolk after a long absence, making it a particularly exciting species to look out for.
