The crows are starting to nest now... they were gathering twigs from the tree outside the house yesterday. Hope they don't pick our chimney again... (it was allegedly capped several years ago), the noise of their cawing, echoing down the chimney breast is incredibly loud and scary!

Almost as bad as my neighbour's 'call to prayer' alarm clock which now (as the sun appears earlier) goes off at 4.30am.
