Stone the crows

Our neighbour has a swooping crow in the garden, presumably to discourage the pigeons.  It looks pretty realistic most of the time, but here it is stuck in a tree looking more like a bat.

It was a gardening sort of day after the rain had stopped.  Most importantly I've moved the very expensive nesting box to a new location as there was no interest in it at all last year.

Great rehearsal with Linton Jazz this evening, several new faces and Buddy Rich's Big Band medley of West Side Story buzzing round in my head...
