Jackdaw

You may think what an odd photo for father's day -- but this bird reminds me of his fun loving ways to introduce me to nature -, animals . birds , flowers and all around me. As a toddler we would sing together when we saw this character approaching the garden --"Me wellais Jack-a-daw , yn eistedd ar ben to
Het wen ar ei ben , A dwy goes bren .
Ho ho ho ho ho ho "
translated to -- I saw a Jackdaw ,sitting on the roof ,
A white hat on his head , and two wooden legs Ho,ho,ho,ho,ho,ho, !!
. We also had songs for other birds eg The Robin . Wasn't it a lovely and fun way to recognise the different birds .
Lot of wonderful childhood memories and I still miss my father so much !
