We don't have jackdaws on this side of the pond. I watched them building nests in holes and crevices in the sarsens at Stonehenge.

Here it is, the sarsen standing stone at
Saint Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury, I’m here now! Much bigger than I was expecting and a beautiful red colour one side. Possibly used by the saint himself as a preaching cross and possibly prehistoric. I think I found the other two sarsens too. More 🧵
