When Needs Must

[poliphilo]

 I woke to what sounded like a human scream. It was a gull of course.

I had been dreaming I was organising and taking part in a marathon. I was also carrying a baby around. I needed someone to mind it, only everyone I might have approached was as fearfully busy as I was- and the only person who wasn't was the baby's only slightly older brother.  Ah well, when needs must...

It tends to be the constant hoot of wood pigeons around here!

We have pigeons too.

Herring gulls, pigeons, jackdaws, sparrows, magpies, starlings. Those are the birds we see round here. Down by the beach there are crows and other species of gull.
