Comments : Presumed 'Eastern' type Jackdaw this afternoon around the grounds of The Bray Institute of further Education. Possibly a retuning bird. (As 'Eastern' birds are on move now) and peak in late October and November according to a Dutch article on them... Where as 'Russian' birds have a later migration period. More to follow on this bird hopefully. Bray, Co. Wicklow
