The sky began to darken yesterday evening and then they began to arrive slowly, each one choosing its own perch.

They began to gather. Was it the storm clouds that were an attraction?

They were everywhere.

But soon they were everywhere, all nicely perched with a safety space in between. Some crows were still hovering and searching for a place. They were now occupying two levels.

The sky was getting darker, but they continued. Rumour had it that Alfred Hitchcock’s film was showing on the television the evening before. Suddenly it was silent, no squarks or chatter, they were patiently waiting.

And then the storm arrived. It was a signal to return to the trees, no respecting crow wants to go home with wet feathers. And then the sky decided to participate in the event..

Yes, it was an interesting evening yesterday.
