As I took this shot (not long before sunset on a gloomy afternoon) many hundreds of jackdaws were gathering in the tree tops before going to roost. From time to time they took to the air, all calling at once - giving out an enormous roar which might have come from Twickenham stadium! Also part of the 'sound-track' have to be the shrieks of dozens of ring-necked parakeets, never far away these days in the outer suburbs of west London.
