THE BIRDS!

I've been trying to find a way to convey this amazing thing that has been happening here recently - at the Maiden's Tower there is a whole school (of hundreds!) of birds that swirl around in a mad frenzy all day every day. Walking to work each day it is as though I am passing through an imaginary set for Alfred Hitchcock's movie "The Birds." They are zooming around in circles around the tower at a rapid pace...it is almost ominous - like a sign of something serious to come! This photo is the closest I have come to being to capture it - and still it doesn't do the scene justice (they are just moving too damn fast to get with the camera!).
