Went with DJS to see Tall Andy,s Jackdaw at Northowram today. Looks good to me for the eastern race soemmerringii or cross with northern scandinavian race. Also 3 GBBGs over, 1 Stock Dove and a Sparrowhawk.
for me it leans more towards 'monedula'...........soemmerringii has a slightly pale face.if we look at this range map for jackdaw http://birdingfrontiers.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/one-mg.png?w=640
1 is the western european race 2 is monedula 3 is soemmerringii
and add in the N L Tits the birds origins lean towards 'monedula'
It seems to me that all Jackdaws with a white collar are classed as Nordic (monedula) in Britain.And there are no definate soemmeringii records at the momentin time.
