jackdaw

Went to Portland Bill on the Bank Holiday Monday and saw this rather impressive Jackdaw.

One of the cheeky Jackdaws that visit the bird table, the lighting wasn't very good on the day I took this. Again this was taken though the window looking out on the back garden, so as it is one of my favorite birds, I though I would share it with you all :D

... or Lass!

love these jackdaws.have noticed my corvids are not visiting in the same numbers just now,think they may have other things on their mind just now.

Jackdaw, adult. Gueret (Creuse). Yesterday. And no thaw yet in Creuse, Keith ;)...by the way, it's snowing again right now.

Preparing to croon ... so for once standing still, which meant I got a decent shot |=)|

I didn't do too well with the jackdaws on the uni campus at Linz. They were in a shady area of lawn and were bustling about quite busily, so not easy to capture. But this shot turned out kind of interesting in spite of the blur, methinks. Not sure what he's eating, but he seemed to be enjoying...

tried some close-ups today.not been out birding all week hope to get somewhere tomorrow weather permitting but i am lucky because if you feed the birds they come to you.my gorgeous garden jackdaw.

.... or ... She who dances with the chimney sweeper will eventually end up black. That's an old Icelandic proverb which I came across. Hope you like. TTTW

They know when you are paying them some attention and get nervous, otherwise they totally ignore you

And here's the last shot of the flip-book story. Now you can print out all five and flip through the stack for the action ;)

Birds bathing are always fun to watch. This is the preface to last week's jackdaw-in-the-dog-fountain series.

:eek!: :D

I love this pose, but just wait to see what comes next ;)

I forgot it was Saturday when I posted yesterday morning. Missed the Saturday Fun challenge, so I'm posting some Sunday Silliness instead. Only 3 posts allowed, so I'm posting 2-4 of a 5-frame story. These 3 make a good flip book on their own, but if you want the preface and conclusions you'll...
