I looked up the etymology of jackdaw and it was kinda interesting. Apparently it's comprised of the old word 'daw' meaning a chough (a different UK corvid) and 'jack' being the 16th century equivalent of calling a bird the Lesser Whatever. Over time chough stopped being called daws and jackdaws got left with the extinct word in their name.
I wonder if the phrase 'jack shit' has the same linguistic roots.

Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to come across this stunning barn owl hunting during golden hour. I'd been watching the light change over this field for hours and it was stunning, so to be lucky enough to see this gorgeous bird fly right over it was a once in a lifetime experience.

Apparently, redwoods love our damp climate. Our back neighbours used to have one, but they cut it down. Not so suitable for suburban gardens...
Can any arborists weigh in on this and any effects they might have long term on the ecosystem? Unlike in California, our sequoia are spread out all over the country. It's very unlikely that these trees will be exposed to forest fires (actually maybe not with climate change doing what it does)
