Corvus Curiosa A Carrion Crow (Corvus corone) eyes me warily from a tree beside Simms Gardens - He's wondering what the thing I'm pointing at him is but obviously doesn't think it's a shot-gun otherwise he'd be off!  The tree itself has quite a healthy growth of lichens, suggesting that the air quality isn't too bad.
