Jackdaw - 1949 status

Corvus mondedula spermolegus

Common resident, except at Skokholm and Grassholm, where only a spring migrat at same time as Rook.  Breeds on cliffs and in ruins, etc, inland.  A writer in the Field, 2 June, 1860, noted that it bred in burrows at Skomer; it still dows this - in sea-bird burrows on the edge of the cliffs.
