It was 7:00 in the morning, and my alarm goes off; time to get up for work! As I lay in my bed, still somewhat dazed, I suddenly heard some ticking just outside my window. I peeked through my window shutters and was rather surprised to be staring right in the face of a young Jackdaw!

I quickly grabbed my pocket camera out of my EDC bag and took some quick snapshots. To my amazement the bird just kept watching me and actually tried to come inside; the cheeky fellow. I shrugged and staggered off to the shower.

When I came back from the shower about 20 minutes later, it was still there! I opened the shutters and said to the bird "So, what do you want ?". All I got back was a little "caw"-like sound. The bird jumped onto the handle of my window and sat there watching me.

I continued to get dressed, and after a while went back to the window and said to the bird "Sorry, but I have to get to work ; so I must close the window". The bird "caw"-ed again and flew off.

It was a rather awkward, but awesome way to start my day.
