An unexpected new species!

I've been playing around with a new cage trap in my garden --trying different places to put it and different baits inside it. I have been having very little interest so was losing interest when all of a sudden this stunner popped in:-

Jackdaws are our smallest resident member of the Corvid ( crow) family and in many towns and villages are very frequently seen. But how often do most people get a really close look at them--the subtle grey shawl and neck and the stunning silver grey iris make this a stunning species I think. And to top everything--it happens to be the first full grown individual of this species that I've caught and ringed. Still plenty to do and learn even after 45 years of ringing......
