Having got a poor response from throwing down the mega sized fat balls, I decided to go back to the regular size fat balls but at the rate the Crow takes them I'm having to revert back to the giant ones again LOL ......... sry for poor pics through window (due to weather - ugh !! ) it was just fun...

Apart from the surprise visit by a Rook today, it seemed to be pretty busy with the regular garden birds including more Corvids and a Robin for MC :) I'm not sure if the shots of the female bullfinch are of two different birds as they certainly look different and we do have at least two pairs...

i am still happily feeding bird seed variations to my garden visitors but would like any advice on trying some natural foods? i have been given lots of ideas like bacon and meat roast fat strips, obviously bread and others.....anyone got anything they`ve tried and had luck with? someone recently told...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and wondered if someone could identify the bird in this photo, which appears to be a jackdaw.

The teacher doesn't seem to have any control over his pupils. Shelduck Something put these up - no sign of Peregrine but there is definitely a Goshawk haunting Slimbridge currently. Cormorant at various times of the day. Birds around the feeders at the Willow Hide...

long tailed tits surprised me, mr williams again, coal tit seems to be here everyday lately, house sparrow waiting for hubby to get home lol and roly mo the pigeon doesn`t understand that the food isn`t on the roof of the bird table LOL

i`m considering the Fujifilm finepix S2000HD camera......is it any good does anyone know? or recommend another?

Sadly no Ravens, Rooks, Hoodies or Choughs (as if, lol!) but I'm happy to get quite a few Magpies, Jackdaws and Jays visit my garden, with the occasional Carrion Crow too, although the latter never hang around long enough for me to get any decent pics of them. I really do love Corvids. Such beautiful...

After another couple of rainy days which have softened the ground and raised water levels, I opted for the convenience of hides at Slimbridge, especially as early morning weather reports had snow reported up on the Cotswolds. Welcomed on site by one of the numerous jackdaws. Started with a visit...

Guest blogger: Lindsay Wilson, Information Assistant, Land's End Greetings from Land's End ! It's a bit of a waiting game here at the moment. The great black-backed gulls are still patiently waiting for the eggs to hatch. Tuesday marked the 27th day since the first egg was spotted,...

Ever wished you could fly? Birds don't give it a second thought, but if only we could take off and soar around for a bit! It'd make the Monday morning commute so much easier. You can see this fabulous photo of a jackdaw by Malcolm Hunt on our very own picture library, RSPB Images . And why...

black and white jakdaw, this picture was taken a few years ago and there was about 5 black and white ones but i havn't seen any black and white one for a long time, think they have gone.

This handsome fella visited my garden for the first time yesterday, joining my 6 regular jackdaws. He brought his mate, who is a normal jackdaw.

Jackdaws perched on a broken tree stump

Last night, I heard raucous squawks from the garden and went to the window. A carrion crow was sitting on the outer branches of the ash tree, ducking its head as the parent jackdaws divebombed it. As it flew off, I saw what the crow was carrying - a tiny, naked jackdaw chick, yellow beak open. Shortly...
