Eastern Jackdaw (soemmerringii), Romania. Looking out for one of these in the 5000+ Jackdaws that we have the farmlands. Note the more contrasting plumage and prominent half-collar).
Will do John! Steve- numbers up and down (very few records from 1970s) but certainly exploded since the landfill e.g. 1936- up to 60 birds on site 1955.54- max of 14 1959- max of 50 1985- max of 10 1994- max of 85 2005- max of 5000 2014- max of 3000
Hi Dave, looks like it has a bright semi-collar but hard to have a good look- keeps popping up and down. In bright light our Jackdaws can give that impression- often confusing me at Beddington. Be good to see some stills of it.
Back in the 1970s Jackdaw was quite notable at Beddington - times really have changed.
ReplyDeleteSend one of those my way. I have never seen a Jackdaw in my part of the world.

Hi Pete, any thoughts on this Jackdaw I got on my TrailCam? The bird on the path (obviously!)
