No kites again today. Wrong weather perhaps. I could understand their viewpoint, as we've had a blanket of dark cloud today, with a very heavy downpour at lunchtime.
The absence of kites was more than made up for by crows and swifts though. The crows, just after lunch, looked like they'd been sent by Aldworth Bomber Command, on a mission to obliterate East Ilsley. There must have been fifty of them, all heading right-to-left past my window, low over the trees, with a grim and portentous determination about them. The swifts, possibly up to a hundred of them, arrived ten minutes ago, and have just left, as if to go and tell the crows what I've been saying about them. They were focussed on the furthest trees in my view, a flurry of dots buzzing around like flies.
Ten or so have just returned, with a single crow.
I'm worried!
