| Comments : | After a couple of years with no sightings, an Eastern Jackdaw has again appeared in my yard with the small resident flock which we feed daily (we are surrouded by vast numbers of wintering birds, but they don't seem to mix). It could be a half-bred descendant of an earlier bird, but the collar looks too strong. |
