Two magpies visit briefly..

The magpies did not bother to stop but simply journeyed across the lawn. There seem to be no crows these days. There is one person in the village designated to shoot crows so perhaps some have been shot and the others moved into the countryside. Too bad, I enjoy feeding them and watching them. It always distresses me that many people detest crows. Even magpies are disliked by many in spite of their beauty and intelligence. Maybe the people who dislike them are jealous but since I am intelligent and beautiful I have no trouble appreciating their virtues!
