No, didn't see the jackdaws on the One Show, JooMoo - would like to see them doing that - a bit like sparrows

Can't post the close up of the Crow, showing its beak! I keep getting the message - "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached."
So I must be in some breach of rules

This link shows the difference between Crows and Rooks. The shape of the beak is the givaway.

Scientists have discovered how to differentiate between a rook and a crow. A rook has five wing pinions whereas a crow has six, thereby proving that it's all just a matter of a pinion

Never had so many 'crows' crowing it here every morning - always wonder what they're on about

The crow is back and sitting on her nest at my backdoor.

Like those . First one especially - total concentration ... on a clothes prop

I like them too. The first photo looks like a this years fledgling.

Saw a jay this morning early. Not in the garden; I was bowling along and it flew in front of the car and then very obligingly landed in a tree so I could tell what it was .
Good start

Kestrels are nesting in a girrrrderrr in the Forth Road bridge. That's nice
