Clean, Shy Guest



The Café 2017/18 has opened in a new dress and with a waiter, too.

Ok, I admit, the raven is there to scare off the flying rats pigeons, and as you can see the great tit (?) is totally unimpressed - see him on the raven´s head? :-)

But very shy, he hid behind the café for his meal.

Returned to his tree and cleaned himself for ages before revisiting and checking again:



He didn´t see me and tadaaa...



Funny fella, no, making himself comphy on the head of a raven!
So far there are two guests, one with a big tummy and a very thin one.
They´re so darn fast and it was getting dark, hence the bad quality.
Or maybe I just need a better cam...

Birds are difficult to photograph, they move quickly all the time.

"Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, 'art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore —
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'
Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.'" ~ Edgar Allen Poe :-)

Oh, so it´s not my "fault", Sami - or the camera´s, good to know.

Revrunner, so he forgot about Lenore? That wasn´t an easy read for me!
Awww, I actually do like raven, such smart birds.

No, I think that's the author's problem--he can't forget.

Oh? Then I don´t get why the raven says "Nevermore"...
