A rook waiting for its next meal. Clever and opportunistic birds.
Rooks often get together at dawn and dusk for those great noisy displays.

We are essentially constantly being told by most of the world media that some people (dark, poor) are worth far less than others (western, wealthy).

Ok, 16 innocent people brutally killed in Bondi Beach attack – response is wall-to-wall global news coverage & condemnation.
