The Jackdaw of Neidpath 9 June 2007.








Tonight took me down near the borders to Neidpath Castle. The assignment? To photograph a party from Holland who were over on a visit to Scotland. Neidpath Castle is situated on a very beautiful stretch of the river Tweed. I had a picnic on the banks prior to their arrival. The minute I turned my back and to my astonishment, I watched this extremely clever feathered fiend helping himself to my grub. He was very wary of the camera and decided to take off with a plastic bag of cake in his beak. I had to admire him for his sheer opportunism.
