Friday's jackdaw event was one of the best ever. For anyone who doesn't know about this I can recommend it as being just one of the most spectacular wildlife sights observable in the district. It's also one of the hardest to photograph, at least with a fairly cheap camera like mine.
It's on a par with the displays of breeding sea birds at suitable cliff sites in Spring or the wheeling aerial dances of starlings before roosting.
You need to be at Stony Ridge at daybreak at this time of year, some 40 minutes before sunrise. Of course the easy way to see it is to be driving into Sheffield on the A625 from Derbyshire, but the distractions could cause an accident.
