This shows an adult jackdaw about to leave a nest that is located in the boxed end panel in the fascia above the shop window of Books Plus. Despite the relatively low height of the nest and noisy young when the adult birds were around, I am sure that most folk will be unaware of this unusual nest site. For a view of the end panel, see Image] and for a view of the shop front, see Image
