attention was first drawn to them this year by a loud cawing somewhere beyond the woods Towards evening a flock of not less than 2000 could be seen circling overhead and finally heading west It is an annual event but the largest congregation I have seen was three years ago Then in the late afternoon in early November they had gathered in a 10-acre ploughed field Every one of the score of trees
