Nature's Feathered Squatters - A Chorus of Choughs and Jackdaws Take Over Isle of Islay's Historic Hideaway!

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA photographer David Hosking, we are transported to the enchanting landscapes of Scotland's Isle of Islay. Amidst rolling sheep-filled fields, an abandoned croft stands as a testament to time, now serving as a bustling hub for some unexpected tenants – choughs and jackdaws! This derelict haven has become a sought-after nesting site for these mischievous corvidae characters. With their vibrant red bills and sleek black feathers contrasting against the crumbling stone walls, they bring life back into this forgotten abode. As if choreographed by nature itself, the chattering chorus echoes through the air as these feathered squatters go about their daily routines. From dawn till dusk, they flit in and out with twigs and moss clenched tightly in their beaks, constructing cozy nests within every nook and cranny. The choughs' acrobatic displays add an extra touch of whimsy to this picturesque scene.
