What is the name for a gathering of jackdaws? There are vast numbers in our village and yesterday I counted at least forty in the big oak tree close to my house. The noise was incredible - they were joined by a solitary magpie to add to the racket. I would love to call a group like this 'a squabble' of jackdaws but I'm sure that there's another equally evocative name.
