them getting away from it all…..round about 9 o’clock
not sure if they are coming or going
above it all the jackdaw pair
We are all fascinated with this particular Jackdaw pair who survey everything as they hang out in their nest on the chimney over the way and also in the trees where they count the cars-
We are fascinated with the daddy’s unique white feathers on his head and front. He looks royal and is the only one like it in the flock so he is easy for us to spot!- I guess the mother bird can pick him out just as easily and see what he gets up to!
At 7 this morning ( maybe it tried before that) the sun shone promising a nice day…..took the photo….. as it turned out the sun went in quickly and wasn’t as bright as it’s promise ….
decided to hang out at home…….
But the sun did come out in the end….in the evening…… and for as long as it lasted it looked like a half eaten Easter egg still in bright wrapping and hiding in the trees! Yeah!
[three stages the descent between 7.15 and 7.35 tonight]
Nice chilled but busy sort of day. The weather forecast for tomorrow is sun so with any luck will definitely plant the seed potatoes and cut the grass (maybe)

Think the pied jackdaw is a rare bird – saw this old post – http://overthegate.myfreeforum.org/about10823.html – have a pleasant day in the garden!

Thanks Nexi! This bird does seem rather unique. He has been around for year or more now and hangs out with a small mob of others but has this amazing white ermine feathery chest and head.
