One early spring day in 2010 at about 2pm over 500 Jackdaws descended on the Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury, home of the world famous Naked Gardeners Ian and Barbara Pollard. To this day we are unsure on how and why all the Jackdaws mangaged to coordinate an assault on the house at exactly the same time. Remarkably after 10 minutes all of the Jackdaws left the rooftop at exactly the same time and were never seen again
