Large jackdaw flocks

March 25, 2018 Stephen Barstow Leave a comment

With the mild weather and bare patches on the fields, it’s good times again for the crow family…it seems that, by the over 300 jackdaws (kaie) counted resting in the bay before flying into the roost a km or so west of here on Friday and 250 flying over this afternoon, that overwintering hasn’t been so bad after all!

The flock on Friday was the lagest registered this year in our area!

1 and 2. Part of a flock counted from videos of 310 Jackdaws (kaie) resting in the bay on 23rd March with about 100 hooded crows (kråke)

Jackdaws (kaie) coming in for landing below the house in the bay! It’s a hard winter for them with continuous snow cover!

Large Jackdaw Flock

December 31, 2017 Stephen Barstow Leave a comment

It’s always fun to see a large flock of Jackdaws flying high over the house….probably most of the birds in Trøndelag (our county) are in this flock! From the still picture I’ve counted around 650 birds! Check if you like :)

Aerial heroics

Always a joy to watch the aerial heroics of jackdaws (kaie) over the house in the evenings before flying into the roost….did I tell you I’m coming back as a jackdaw?

Jackdaw flypast

January 15, 2017 Stephen Barstow Leave a comment

Every morning a large flock of Jackdaws / kaie fly past the house on the way to farmland to the east where they feed during the day…it happens very quickly so difficult to film. This morning I was filming the view of a snow shower over the fjord and the flock arrived, so I quickly started filming…

I love Jackdaws / Kaie, particularly for their playfulness and aerobatics, like this over the house today!

Jackdaws fly towards the red sky

November 12, 2016 Stephen Barstow Leave a comment

Jackdaws (kaie) fly every morning to breakfast which is served in the fields to the east of here…standing on my bedroom balcony, there’s suddenly a pressure wave as a small group of birds fly at breakneck speed right over the roof above my head…must try to film it one day…but this morning they and I also had a glorious view too…dreaming of coming back as a jackdaw…they have so much fun it seems!
