gasmantell @gasmantell.bsky.social · 06/09/2026When I approached, I saw the rest: a mixed flock, mostly jackydaws , with one jay and a few pied-mags lagging behind as they always do. Possibly descendants of the flock Ray Berwick trained in the 60s for that film. #hookland #booksky They weren't leaving. And they weren't after food. 070
gasmantell @gasmantell.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Outside today, I accidentally summoned the Corvids. A large crow pecked at the window—drawn by the nearby hazel-stick framework I'd rigged up for something else entirely. It tapped and cawed, insistent. Over and over again. A toad too, pressed against the rotten wood. #hookland #booksky 1100
