Visitor

We had a short visit from a young corvid the other day. A jackdaw chick had caught the unwelcome attention of a cat so came for a short visit before being returned to where it was found after reading the advice online. Baby jackdaws will live on the ground after leaving the nest and remain under the watchful eye of their parents who will fend off predators and feed them until they’re strong enough to look after themselves. At this young age they are easy to handle and although tempting to keep the little thing a bit longer, after a couple of pics, back home it went, happily riding down the road on the handlebars of a bike!
