So tweet 1 is a line of them, just visible if you click to enlarge, perched on top of the roof on top of the flats on top of the new fish shop in the Horton Precinct. One of those occasions when once needs a camera with zoom to do justice to this late afternoon scene. Maybe one day I will discover not only that my telephone can in principle be software persuaded to do zoom, but also how to do said persuasion.
Tweet 2 was the other day, coming back down Longmead Road towards the end of a Horton Clockwise. There were a couple of crows on the grass, looking much the same, in particular much the same size, but with the first one pecking around on the ground and with the second cawing at the first. Then it turned out that the second one was a chick wanting to be fed and from time to time the first stuffed something down the open throat of the second. Maybe when Mum and Dad get fed up with it, they just hoof it one dark night when baby is taking a well earned snooze.
Both western ridges of the Horton Retail Complex were fully occupied by starlings again today, at around 1000, with much twittering to accompany the tweet.
