Waiting for the bus

Another mild but grey morning outside the Nags Head waiting for the 6.54. As yesterday, robins and blackbirds were singing, with the addition of a wren from the opposite hedge. The local pheasant called as carrion crows croaked from Muggin's Wood.
Over head, with the lighter mornings, the local corvids were off in a northerly direction. A count of 240 rooks and 325 jackdaws was made in the 8 minutes at the bus stop. I shall keep a count of these over the ensuing weeks, as many of the birds have now taken to the nests that are all around the Ford.
