Jackdaw .

A frenzy of birds in the garden these days -- I assume all feeding their broods . The Jackdaw and a couple of friends are here daily . to take their share at the big bird table !
Not feeling too good with quite a flair-up of my polymyalgia , had a restless night and today been lounging around all day .

[Janiskay]

I hear see them depicted in some of the books I read, Now I know what one looks like.

[Pat Knowles]

You do get all sorts of varieties of different birds Beryl. Must cost you a fortune, know it does us....squirrels don’t help!
So sorry you aren’t feeling too good....very draining being in pain....perhaps a bit too much gardening...take it easy for a bit...enjoy sitting among your flowers!
