Several times I found the lid on the seed feeder had been opened. It shouldn't have been gusty winds as it has a magnetic catch. I thought it may have been a squirrel though I haven't seen one in the garden for over a year. This morning I decided to check the camera recordings .....
I should have known that a corvid would have the intelligence to work out how to open the lid - as you can see with this Rook.

Corvid Visitors
I sometimes see a Jackdaw pay a fleeting visit to the garden. A few days ago I spotted a couple of them on the lawn:
After a short while they were joined by a Rook.
Recently a Rook has been making early morning visits to the bird feeders.
It usually manages to extract a suet ball or suet log which it enjoys on the ground.
This morning I spotted a Rook which seemed to be self identifying as a Blue Tit as it clung on the feeders to get its share of what was on offer. Fortunately the camera which monitors the feeders caught the action:
I sometimes think they expend as much energy trying to feed as they get from what they manage to eat.
