Jackdaw .

The birds are flocking to the grden at the moment , so lovely to see and hear their songs .The Jackdaw is quite an intelegent bird - nothing goes passed his beady eye without him noticing it ! He watches me from the neighbour's chimney pot and is soon down to feed off my "big bird " table !
NB As many of you have guessed rightly - the Jackdaw comes from the Crow family of birds !

It is amazing how the birds know when there is food about and soon appear to devour it all. Lovely capture he is quite handsome.Fav

[Babs]

He is a beauty, he has his beady eye on you.

[Judith Johnson]

Super shot Beryl. We've seen lots of them in Sweden. I'm glad you named him as we were thinking they might be crows!

[Margaret Pengelly]

He reminds me of our crow who has the same beady eye and misses nothing.

Awww look at him in profile! I love the Foxglove flower stalks too!

This is an awesome shot Beryl. So clear. Jackdaws really are intelligent birds and I find them so entertaining.
