Jackdaw

The UK’s smallest crow, named after its raucous call. Quite easily identified by its distinctive head with a silvery-gray hood around the back, a black cap and pale blue-gray eyes. In winter groups often gather to roost and, at dawn and dusk, form mini-murmurations.

 

Mid-day in the sunshine with the noisy hum of the by-pass in the background. A pair of ducks on the pond and no other birds visible, but there are a few chirping away.

Wren, Robin, Jackdaw and Blue tit according to Merlin.
