Camera Critters - Jack the Chimney Sweep

Jackdaws like magpies are attracted to shiny objects.  Perhaps this one liked this gate into my friends` garden in Herefordshire, England designed by Giusseppe Lund who designed the Queen Mothers Gate in Hyde Park.  He`s very handsome and you have to remind yourself he`s a member of the crow family.

Linking up with Camera Critters.

great photo. Looks like the crows I'm always sushing away from my garden.

Apart from shiny things, they like dog food too. I see them around all the time. LOL!

Have to agree with everyone else Annabella. It's a great shot. The crow and gate just go so well together!
I admit I like crows, and love to sit and watch their antics. We have quite a large family of them in the area. :)
