Jackdaw (Coloeus monedula)

Labels:
Somewhat hidden from view hoping to shoot some brown rats (more of this later), I placed some peanuts on a fence post to see what might be attracted to them. I got lucky when this greedy Jackdaw turned up and proceeded to work his through every single nut – often, as can be seen here, taking away several at a time.

    A super shot Tim. Black birds are never easy at the best of times.
