In the north of England, especially in the Lake district and on the Cheviots, as well as in the south of Scotland and as far north as Perthshire, it is common; beyond which, and in the west (though it has nested in Islay), the prevailing form is the Hooded Crow: the two not unfrequently interbreeding.
