Jackdaw (Corvus monedula) in Sheen Wood
Sheen Wood is one of several woods in Richmond Park. Many jackdaws were in evidence hopping about on the ground. One of the smaller members of the crow family they sport a glossy plumage of black and varying shades of grey, and are I think quite attractive birds albeit in a rather sombre way.
These are the birds often seen wheeling around the castellations of church towers emitting their "jack" calls from which they get their name. Here in Richmond Park they were quieter, turning over the leaf litter in search of food.
