Jackdaw (Corvus monedula)

One of the smallest in the family of crows and ravens, the Jackdaw is a ground feeder and eats everything from fruit and seeds, to small animals and insects, birds and eggs, and carrion.  A large flock can also do an immense amount of damage to a field of young crops.  It is good looking though with a grey neck and pale eyes compared with the others in its family.  A group is called a "clattering" or alternatively a "train".  I like "clattering"!

Went over to my neighbours for a cup of tea and cake in the garden.
