It’s a hooded crow. In western Europe the all-black carrion crow is prevalent. The more you travel to the east, the more hooded crows you see. In Germany and Czech republic you have both in equal numbers in some areas. If you go to Poland and further: more and more of these hooded crows.

Looks like a hooded crow (Corvus cornix) to me. Plenty of them around where I live (European city). Magpies look different

Yeah, i saw these guys in Berlin and always thought they looked like they were wearing waistcoats.

They're so big, I call them wee dinosaurs.

I think it might be a magpie?

Magpies have long tails and an oily sheen. European ones anyway.
Where's Unidan when you need him.

I think they can even interbreed.
