Jon Snow

European Jackdaw [Coloeus monedula]

 

This guy and a few of his friends were mooching around while we were having a picnic at Ballantrae Bay.

 

He was quite cheeky and often came closer than the others in an attempt to steal or beg a tasty morsel or two. Luckily, I had some sunflower hearts in the car for the wee birdies at The Pixies so we gave him some of those. Aye, he wasn’t as pleased as you’d imagine...

 

With the final series of Game of Thrones starting next week, I thought there were too many links between this guy and some of the characters/plot lines, for example, his piercing blue-white eye reminded me of the Night King; his corvid etymology reminded me of The Night’s Watch and, ultimately, their Lord Commander Jon Snow...
