For years we've had jackdaws around the house, a dozen or so, ... but this year there's been 30-ish, and then ,three weeks ago there was a massive increase around the 200 mark ..... maybe more. Don't know why. They've been a devil to count, they swirl around like mad, disappearing and reappearing in seconds, and constantly splitting up and reassembling. Well , this morning I tried to solve the problem ... I went up to the "office" and took about 30 snaps of them whizzing around over about 5 minutes. Lots of the snaps were blurry, lots were just dinky dots, but a few were reasonably OK and countable. Here's four of them that were "reasonably countable" ....... why not have a go .... this one has captured most of the flock, but they're a bit small...... This one has a chunk blocked out at the bottom ... This one has a different chunk blocked out at the bottom ... This, I think , is the least worst one ! They're small, but it has most of the flock ..... So ... it would be smashing if you had a go at counting them ... after this jangly music .......
