    Anyone ever in the village around 7am? Its freaky as hell seeing all the crows out. Hundreds and hundreds of them. Its like a hitchcock movie. All of them lined up on the roof of bradys and supermacs and BOI. Freaky as hell.

    My problem with them is that they're huge! Mayo crows would be terrified!

    There's a big mast in the middle of Silken Vale and every day just as it's hitting dusk it gets filled with all these little sparrows/i don't know what the hell they are.
    It's well strange though as they're all tweeting and singing, but it almost sounds like the waves coming from the mast affect them and they're tweeting sounds like static(trying to tune a radio).

    I was in the main street around half six am a few weeks ago.

    Holy. Crap. It really has to be seen to be believed. It's actually amazing.

    If I'm around that early I'm usually too drunk/hungover to notice.

    They are massive, it must be said and so many of them, like there must be some amount of rubbish to feed all those massive birds.They'd take your eye out with one movement like.
