Evening flight


crows

East Leeds is unusual in as much that it stops almost dead. Houses, shops, urbanisation very quickly becomes fields and farmland, dotted with villages - of which Garforth is one.

So believe it or not, this is just 5 minutes walk beyond the eastern edge of Leeds, behind a large supermarket and retail park. I often see the crows and rooks flying over to one of several local roost sites. Very beautiful in the late afternoon light of winter.

Yes, your skies and landscapes are very David Bellamy-ish!
I had to look up what rooks were as we don't have them here in Canada. I see they are from the corvus family and look like a crow but with shaggy pants and a balder beak area. Neat!

Lovely, just redolent of a late winter evening. I adore rooks and crows!
