Jackdaw Book Report. A jackdaw is a collection of interesting artifacts that provides information about a particular subject, period, or idea. The term comes from the British name for a bird, similar to the American grackle that picks up brightly colored, interesting, and attractive objects and carries them off to its nest. For children, jackdaws are particularly useful for building background and interest in books, stories, and other texts.
With one exception. The jackdaws that return each year to nest in the chimney over our wood burning stove. The chimney is so high that It would need a brave man with a crane to put a cowl on the top. When the jackdaws do successfully nest they drop 8 dustbin liners of twigs down the chimney.Thousands of hours must be spent on the wing, collecting the materials for their nest. It takes the guts of a day to clear it when they finally leave in September.hoto: Jackdaws.

I spotted a neat nest of twigs in the branches, and a glimpse of a tail feather.
