These birds have a huge task every day to bring food back home to the family, and where better than a workers queue at the end of the of a day's work whilst these humans are queuing for the bus to nibble on a snack or even gobble on their their forgotten lunch, the row of birds now dive off the power line to begin their rush hour race to pick and peck and take home home some, or perhaps satisfy their own tummies. Thoroughly enjoyed Paul. HUGS WARM REGARDS AND BLESSINGS., Jennifer.
