Roadkill, Two for joy,
Dragging heavy carrion,
Magpies pecking flesh
Driving to Woburn Sands today, saw a couple of Magpies going at an indistinguishable squished animal on the road. They did seem to try to drag it out of the way of my oncoming car before giving up and flapping away. I’m sure they were right back onto it as soon as I past them.
They get a bad press, but I love all crows, suspicious, inquisitive and intelligent creatures that they are.
