lThe only all black bird of the region with red bill and legs, which distinguish it at once from both Alpine Chough and the black Corvus crows. Lack of grey on nape separates it easily from smaller Jackdaw. Juvenile's bill tinged orange. Starling-like chattering subsong is rare; one common call-note is like a young Jackdaw's 'kyow', another is more gull-like than corvine, and a third 'k'chuf' has given the bird its English name. Flight much more buoyant than other black corvids, and performs acrobatics like Raven; both walks and hops. Flocks usually small. Very fond of steep, ragged cliffs of the gorges and Causses, nests in rock
crevices. Middelgrote kraai (37 cm) met slanke naar beneden gebogen karmijnrode snavel.
Adult mannetje en vrouwtje geheel pikzwart met iriserende glans. Poten contrasterend
dieprood. Luchtacrobaat : zweeft op afgeronde, sterk bevingerde vleugels op luchtstromen nabij kliffen. Roep : luidruchtig ; scherp krisj en kenmerkend ki-jaah. Bewoont rotsige berggebieden, kliffen en steengroeven, voelt zich
uitstekend thuis in de Gorges du Tarn en de Causses. |
