This was my first post on the forum a few months ago. The rooks now seem to have migrated and the songs of the blackbirds, although fewer, can be heard clearly on the forum. However, I have always been interested in Corvidae and did find their conversation very stimulating.
Embarking on a flight of fancy, it occurred to me to wonder whether it would be stealing if one sneaked into the toilet and drank from the taps in a restaurant where they charge for water. Of course, such behaviour could be used to justify the installation of CCTV "for our protection" and to ensure that offenders were identified and prosecuted.
