Husb and I came back this evening from a nice day out in Newcastle Emlyn to find this young jackdaw in the house. It had flown down a chimney and settled in our back bedroom. It wasn’t hurt, despite having two cats in the house at the time; so much for apex predators! We think it’s a jackdaw because of its “flat head”. I Googled to see if there are any UK superstitions about jackdaws flying down your chimney and guess what? They’re a harbinger of death! Great! AND it’s Friday 13th. A bit too many superstitions for my liking!
