jackdaw

Well Peeps, We're on the road again this morning...We're actually going home. Not sure if we will be home a week or two weeks before we make a trip to Devon. Today it should be just a two train journey from Bedford to Hastings, so if things run smoothly, I will catch up with...

Jackdaw

Don't know why, but this chap reminds me of someone staggering out of a pub at closing time. I was just browsing my shots, and came across it, such a comical pose.

I only see Jackdaws at my local reservoirs, and I've never had close views. I've not seen or heard any locally, and I've never seen any near or in my garden... until today ;) Poor light and still smeary windows, but it's always good to get a new species visiting the feeders; although I'm hoping...

Well Peeps, I bussed it to Rye Harbour and back yesterday...A cracking four hours out in the field in lovely sunshine, and four hours either on buses, or waiting for em, LOL. I got home, and as it was so nice, Hazel dragged me to our local for a couple of pints, LOL. Watched footy last night, so...

BIRDS EYE VIEW

I don't often manage to get a picture of the Jackdaws that live round here, they're just so panicky and fly at the least movement, even from the far side of my lounge! I was quite pleased to get this one, so celebrating Birdforum's 12th birthday today with it. It's interesting to note, that BF...

Lots of these about at Fairhaven Lake today.

... after the rain. This Jackdaw came to feed on the peanuts; as I've said before, they're quite nervous and it's hard getting pictures of them. Anyway, I was wrong, this is still my old lappy. The pictures folder didn't get migrated across to the new one, nor did the browser and e-mail...

some more jackdaws.thank you all for your kind comments on yesterdays posts.some of you mentioned about how interesting it must have been raising one of these young.i not only raised it but had it for many years.i keep pigeons and the jackdaw(jip) lived with them and flew in and out the hut with...

have alot of these visit the garden.many years ago i raised one from young and what characters they are.

I so rarely see these around the garden, and even rarer manage to get a picture of them as they fly at the least movement. Couldn't believe this one stood and posed for me that day. TTTW

For a few days I had loads of Jackdaws visit (presuming they were the new crop of youngsters) but they were so shy, they flew off at the least movement in my room. The Wood Pigeons are a bit braver, not a lot, but a bit!! This day I managed to get these two together, but they're so big and...

took this today with a camera i,m thinking of buying.its a dslr second-hand for a two figure sum.i think for my first attempts this little camera done ok.

Well Peeps, Its an early start again for me this morningIm off to Seaford kittiwake colony with BFs Aivars. Hopefully we will have time to check out a Peregrine nest site in West Sussex on the way back. So I will catch up with yall later

My garden seems to have become a nursery for young Jackdaws and Rooks. The Jackdaws are still partly being fed by adults, so there is lots of begging behaviour and noise.

I'll have to order more suet at this rate ......

Have a pair regularly visiting now - they come for the suet!
