Good capture. Some of our local jackdaws are quite ambitious with the sticks they collect. Sometimes they can't get them though the opening to their nest site.

That’s ambitious!

Nice shot, some birds do seem to get a bit over ambitious come nest building time.

Great photo Trev, interesting to see it collecting bits for the nest.

Well spotted Trev I recently saw a video of a man on the bank feeding a Moorhen with sticks that it would take from him and then over to the nest, wonderful.

Looks like it's going to be a big house

Good capture, we were watching black headed gulls do much the same. Sticks that were a bit on the big side, funny part was when they went off for more a coot was stealing some! Think the BHG must have realised as eventually one always stayed in attendance.
