Jackdaws in the Snow by jamibann

Jackdaws in the Snow

Another shot taken from our bedroom window. I saw these two hanging out on our Douglas Fir, and thought they'd make a good subject for today's photo. Yesterday it just snowed and snowed. It's unbelievable that just 20 miles towards Aberdeen it is raining! Hubby spent all day digging us out, and he'll be doing the same again today! We couldn't get to Braemar yesterday to see dad, and I was so grateful to one of the local carers, Isla, who went in to see him 3 times yesterday and even took his wee dog out. She's going to do the same today. I'm also very grateful for Sandy who continues to do our Zoom Pilates classes - we had a super session last night and I'm looking forward to this morning's session too.
Wow....and more to come and more and more if BBC Scotland is accurate.
We had a dusting yesterday but a few inches overnight. Quite pleasant going to the paper shop ut snowing again. All from the east 😕
Isn't it lovely that neighbours and carers are so careful to look after people like your dad.

Amazing! I was just reading that Scotland's ski areas have had the best snow in years and yet they are shut. We haven't had any down here.......still hoping! Blow really hard at the snow clouds and see if they can make it all the way to London, will you? :)
Jackdaws will have cold feet today! Nice shot

The jackdaws don't seem to impressed with the snow. Hope you don't get snowed in for long.

So much snow, the sweet little jackdaws feet will be frozen...

Beautiful dof and detail.

Ohhh...poor things...they look frozen.....

Crumbs I hope you get some respite but the weather forecast seems to be that temps are going to plummet...

Lovely capture

I am jealous of all the snow I keep witnessing, but I don't think I would get my walks in well here with it. I don't think I've ever seen a jackdaw unless it is a crow?

So good you can rely on help at these times, it would put your mind at rest knowing he was being cared for....snow looks lovely but does hamper everyday lives. The birds look a wee bit cold!

Nice shot Issi

Beautiful capture.

Lovely photo of the birds. They look pretty cold but I'm sure they're used to it.
February 4th, 2021  
A nice capture of the birds, who look a little slogged down in all that snow.

Pretty capture with the birds and snow!

Yes, your weather seems to be playing catch up to ours! Someone said we're supposed to get another inch or two on Friday- but I haven't heard the weather report yet. The one on the right seems to be checking the wind- "If it's coming from the East Martha, we're in for a big one! Better hunker down!" Good shot!

Great storytelling. And it's an elegantly simple composition.

Wonderful capture.

@casablanca We're officially fed up of it now. I'm blowing hard your way!
February 5th, 2021  
@darylo It is a type of crow - we get lots of them. They seem to thrive in all the pine trees we have around here.

@olivetreeann Ha ha .. I like your jackdaw narrative ... they could well have been saying that, and they could well be right. It's still snowing!
February 5th, 2021  
@judithg Yes, we're now waiting for the big freeze, so just trying to move all the necessary snow before it turns into blocks of ice! It's getting to find places to put it!

@jamibann could be interesting down here next week mostly due to woefully inadequate gritting.
