Jackdaw
 

One of the more nervous birds to visit the setup this year was the Jackdaw. In common with other species of Crow, they seem very wary indeed.  They are quite frequent visitors to our garden but often stay sitting on our roof - in previous years we have had a pair of Jackdaws nesting in our chimney.
 

My only successful images are of the birds strolling around the lawn looking for food. They are quite stern looking birds, but I like the way the light sheens off them, pulling out the detail in what is otherwise an all black bird.
