I'm not talking to Jackdaws and Crows at the moment... they're attacking the feeders with all the force they can muster. Kept going up there to find every one of them completely empty and some of them thrown to the ground!! Normally the feed put out was enough for us to visit every 2 or three days, but this last three weeks they've been emptied overnight! Costing a fortune!
The Jackdaw sure looks evil enough, doesn't he!! I think what's happened is that their young have fledged and both the Crows and Rooks have brought them up to the feeding station as it's easy meat for them LOL (though not really funny from my point of view!!)
In contrast the photobombing Common Pheasant is an absolute joy. Wanders round our feet waiting for scraps, all the time making cute little noises. as of to say "thank you so much, I love this". He went missing for a bit, but is back again now. The feeders are safe with him!
