Look at those deer over there
Jack is on that deer's back
Jack is collecting some of that deer's hair for his nest
Do you need any more
Go on help yourself
Jack's helping himself, he is not having any of my hair
mine neither, lets get out of here.
I dont know what all the fuss is about
Jack its all gone quiet, where has everybody gone ?
Search me was it something we said ?
Not sure Jack, well i may get off home now
OK jack see you later
OH deer i am on my own now
I am worn out listening to all that, deer me.
Brilliant ILR.

i love robins said:Thanks Mike I dont know if you saw the hair in the jackdaws beak if you zoom in you should see it.
I had, and I'm curious why my editing to include possible nesting material has disappeared!
Whatever, its fascinating how nature works in harmony with all species.
