 Red Kites - Manatee
A lot of people put out things like chicken carcasses for them, my neighbour is one and as a result we often have a kite overhead. People say they will take chickens but they have not to my knowledge had any of ours.

They are certainly a common sight now. I did once have one nearly join me in an open topped car near Henley. It was actually in the act of swooping down for some road kill and I just got in its way. Pretty big at close quarters.

The pest bird here is jackdaws. They go round in packs of 8 or 9 (the teenagers I assume) and are assiduous builders of nests in chimneys. We had an unused chimney here that was blocked by them years ago, when the house was demolished we got two full bin liners of nest material out of it.
