The strangest thing just happened. It was almost surreal and my heart is still racing from it.
As I was standing outside soaking up some sun and having a smoke, a huge group of starlings landed in the big oak tree beside the house. All the sudden, with a huge fluttering roar, they took flight and out of the tree came crashing down a crow with a much smaller starling in his grip. The landed in the ivy and all I could hear were the cries of the starling for several minutes until they became weaker and ceased. Soon, other crows started to show up to join in on the attack.
It was so weird. I never knew crows were predators of other birds. I guess you learn something new every day. Well, let me head off on my walk.
