Corvus monedula
A small black crow with a grey neck and pale eyes. It is sociable and usually seen in pairs or larger groups. It is quite and acrobatic flier and flocks will often chase and tumble together in flight. On the ground it both walks and hops. (Info from www.rspb.org.uk)
In the trees near me there are at least 50 birds of the same species,which from the photo i can identify as jackdaws.They are quite brave and do not scatter easily when disturbed.

Wondered what this handsome bird was in our garden, I feed the birds with seed, bread/fat and biscuits - he is very sociable and I hope to encourage him/her much more! Thankyou for the wonderful photo, the description was so easy to recognise our visitor
