I noticed magic said he could hear the hooded crows cawing, you need to have a look out at them doing it coz the jackdaws will go ciao, ciao instead of cawing.
very beautiful feathers this jackdaws got!

Actually think this maybe a jackdaw after all, oops!!!!! We haven't seen jackdaws here before only rooks and hoodies actually around the house, maybe this one just fancied a change of scene, i think he's very handsome!

Think you're right, it probably is a jackdaw. We had a look at some hooded crows and they don't have the blue eyes at all! He is a very handsome jackdaw tho!!

beautiful photo's mandy. your crows look very similar to jackdaws but obviously bigger and they're crows! Jackdaws have very striking blue eyes when they're little which do fade as they get older so maybe it's the same thing with your crows. I think the grey hoods tend to go the other way and get lighter with jackdaws tho.
