Nordic Jackdaw & fun at the "Court of Crows"

The Nordic Jackdaw paid a brief visit to my garden feeders this morning, no doubt it's around the Dale Road/Furzy Park area somewhere.

A little trip out this afternoon with Paul G in search of Lesser Spotted Woodpecker proved fruitless, but Llys-y-fran (despite poor weather initially) provided ample compensation: an adult Ring-billed Gull (presumably the returning bird), 2 adult Yellow-legged Gulls and an impressive (for this site) 6 Mediterranean Gulls (5 adults, 1 2nd year). Good number of gulls in the roost, and an impressive flock of Canada Geese (c. 270). Also a single drake Goldeneye and one Great-crested Grebe.
