Jackdaws In Your Loft.

Bob Lewis reports that he had a busy day on monday removing Jackdaw nesting material from his loft. Although Jackdaws, like most of the Crow famiuly, are markedly intelligent, they are not one of my favourite birds being a bit too greedy and destructive for my likibg, although there are people I know, who have kept them sucessfully as pets. The real question is though, what other wildlife lurk in your lofts, bats maybe, or mice nibbling away at your stored posessions, or even their mored unpleasent rat reletives.If you are lucky you might have something like owls, but its more likely, I suppose to be the aforementioned rodents or matbe their squirrel cousins. Still, at least its good to be able to tell our friends that we are doing our bit for nature preservation.

Even if it is only in the loft.

You don't suppose that these "markedly intelligent" birds were trying to help Prof.Bob by adding their nesting material to his insulation, and thus saving the planet by slowing climate change in Silverton ?
