Jackdaw on a fence post
A Western jackdaw (Coloeus monedula).
I don’t see many of these, much more common to me are the common crows or carrion crows. It is easily recognized by its dark grey-black plumage, contrasting silvery-grey nape (or "half hood"), and striking pale eyes. The Jackdaw's call – a familiar hard 'tchack' – gives it its name. It will often nest in chimneys, buildings, rock crevices and tree holes and is seen regularly on post. PiPs
Seen on my recent round of Hartshead Pike.

Jackdaws regularly visit my garden.......they rarely hang about for long, but they're lovely to see and watch.
