Tchackdaw .....

The Jackdaw gets its name from its call.

A very successful generalist member of the Corvid family, population numbers are very much on the up.

We spend a lot of our time seeking out less common birds and tend to overlook everyday species  ( only recently did It occur to me that I do not have one image of a Magpie in my archives ! ), the Jackdaw is nevertheless quite a pretty bird with its pale grey eyes and grey '' hood ''.
