Nice group of Jackdaws Joe, one of my favourite birds, a bit like starlings, love communities.:)
I am quite partial to the Jackdaw too - but great to catch them having a communal bathe.
Unfortuantely they were bad news for sand martins who left the area after the sandmartin bank was badly predated.
Oh no, I didn't think of that :( Of course, you still can't blame the Jackdaws - it's in their nature.
