No evil propensity of the human heart is so powerful that it may not be subdued by discipline.


I'm not sure what these birds are doing lurking up on some luxury flats above Salamanca Square. Whatever it is, it can't be good. I've seen that film by Hitchcock. No, birds gathering, it has to spell doom.

As I was looking at this photo, one thing that struck me was the yellow tone. I don't do a lot of yellow, and I don't know why...

If these birds are mynas? Mynas are the most adapted to city living.

About seven billion too few birds to be a Hitchcock classic.
The yellow works in this one. Nice tones.

Zoom in and they don't look like mynas. Not enough brown as far as my memory goes.
Roddy said…
I just looked and they can possibly be a starling/mynah. The mynah I remember had an abundance of brown.

I just call them "brown birds" [in the ring, tra la la la la...]
