It occurred to me some
mornings back, (I get up
at 6 am on the d•t) or as
it is currently a black spot
until about 8 am. approx.

Out in our back garden is
an Ash deciduous of course.

At about 6:30 am on the 1st
sighting there was a crow
perched high up alone, I
could see the outline from
street lighting on the road.

I pursued my interest by checking
on successive days, because the
nearest rookery is in Dromahane
some miles away.

Yes, this solitary Corvid was
sighted on several days not
always on the same branch,
but on the same tree.

I had a dilemma, an errant
crow which could have been
ostracised, they do have parliaments
and indeed murders when found
guilty of misdemeanours.

But obviously it was not that
which caused its isolation.

It has occurred to me, that perhaps
like humans, Crows could suffer
from insomnia, why not?

Again that would not explain anything
because they don't fly in the dark!

The only other possibility is that they
might be prone to bird version of the
condition known as somnambulism or
noctambulism, this could explain it.
