I like the Jackdaw. They are so cute. The feeder in pic is one of those anti squirrel/anti big bird ones where if something heavy sits in it it drops closing the holes. But Jackdaw are smart enough to not land and grab a seed.
Ferral pigeon on other hand are not. They land on feeder and stay for 10 seconds trying to peck the glass!
Had a mistle thrush in garden this year but not a regular visitor. Not enough hedging here for them. Black birds though scratching in the leaves I've left. A bit of wild patch really draws the wildlife.
Jackdaws are sneaky buggers. They are ridiculously common here. If I put bread out, they arrive in the dozens, often within seconds.
I had a hundred or so mobbing a buzzard hiding in the trees at the end of my garden last year. They REALLY don't like buzzards...
Most of my garden is unmaintained, due to laziness on my part.
