UK Approves Shell-Equinor Jackdaw Gas Field
The UK government is expected to approve the Jackdaw gas field off Scotland after a new environmental assessment, following a court ruling that invalidated its earlier approval. Supporters say it could bolster gas supplies, jobs and tax revenue, while opponents argue it would increase emissions and do little to lower energy bills; a decision on Rosebank is still pending.

About jackdaw
Jackdaws are two species of bird in the genus Coloeus closely related to, but generally smaller than, crows and ravens (Corvus). They have a blackish crown, wings, and tail, with the rest of their plumage paler. The word Coloeus is Neo-Latin, from the Ancient Greek for jackdaws: koloiós (κολοιός). They come from Asia, Europe, Africa, and Siberia.
