Each year, as nesting approaches, we get visits from the local jackdaws. Mostly they feed on the peanut feeders, I wonder if the females are supplementing their diets in readiness for producing eggs? If not why don't they visit as much, if ever at the other seasons?

Perhaps fresher peanuts are available across town at other seasons. Or perhaps it's a SEASONAL CRAVING. Humans with Seasonal Affective Disorder are said to crave carbohydrates; perhaps jackdaws with a similar affliction crave... peanuts!
...All right, I confess, I'm not a birder.
I love Josy's interpretation!
But yes perhaps other bays or foods are available at other seasons...
Nice pic of the Jackdaw! I've never seen one here in Canada. But I remember them well when I lived in Northern Ireland.
