Lots of crows

Evening draws on, and there’s an almighty cawing and commotion. An entire flock of crows flies overhead, looking for a roost. I fumble for my camera, and it takes ten million years to focus and snap. By the time it’s done, the crows, a thick layer when I started, are distant dots.

I have no problem with seeing crows and ravens. They just don’t seem to want me to waste the encounter photographing them. Tricksters, all of ‘em :)
