The evil Blackbird (Turdus merula). I was persecuted by this bird for several weeks, pecking on the windows (you can see the marks) and depositing bird droppings all over the window ledges and my car which I had to wash several times a day. In the end I partially fooled it by moving the car a few yards away, round the corner. So it wasn't an evil genius.
