The annual moult of the Wiltshire safari parks Bactrian camels (Camelus bactrianus) provides the perfect opportunity for the enterprising corvids to feather their own nests.<br />

The camels come from one of the harshest enviroments on earth, with freezing winters and blistering summers, so their incredibly thick winter coat is shed every spring.<br />

The cunning jackdaws are happy to help speed up the process and the camels don't seem to mind.
