Julie opened the shutters at 07:30 this morning (me, shutters, 07:30, stroll on). This is what she saw. Luckily she is into nature things, and has a camera (and binoculars) in easy reach of the windows. These were taken through the glass.
We normally only see these on the camera trap, and not very often.

Last fall we did not think this plant would make it. We cut it back dramatically. Today it is doing very well and looks like it will stay that way.

baby crows have blue eyes
We have Jackdaws nearby nesting in chimney pots. Just reading that they like manmade structures. A local lad had a trained Jackdaw when I was a kid.
Yes, I think your right

thanks
having a good look at the shawl on the pics you are right
the jackdaw (Corvus monedula) is a large bird that has a black head with a light grey shawl, black wings and tail, but a grey body. It has blue-grey legs, and the adults have a strong, short hooked chunky bill. Their upperparts are dark grey with an unmistakable black line running down the back of each bird. The tail is grey with some black feathers at the tip. The young have pale blue eyes which stand out against their black plumage. Eventually, the eyes turn grey and then white

Is it a French Poppy

The Welsh poppy is a plant of damp and shady places, roadsides and hillsides. It is also a garden escapee. It flowers over summer, attracting nectar-loving insects.

I wish they would take over ours. I keep trying to grow them they just won't. Neither will evening primrose. Nor alpines or bellis daisies or lupins. Heading to a garden centre tomorrow hopefully for geraniums. Suddenly our Romanian Bluebells have started moving round the garden and the alstrumeras. Partner found my root digger I am so happy.It was in the box where it should be!

My wife's handywork in a hanging basket on out porch.
It's possible that those members who have followed the In The Garden threads over the last few years will remember previous images of Boris at leisure, deep in the Worcestershire countryside. I caught up with him again last Thursday.
Here he is, sailing on, apparently unconcerned, quite unsunk (as yet).

It's wet, 11.5 degrees in my garden at the moment and it's a Bank Holiday Sunday in June.
So, if you want, here are a few more pics of Boris and his team and a bit of silliness. (Too complicated for a post here, so this is the link - it's safe: www.staffshomeguard.co.uk/LXboris.htm)
