What is it with scarecrows? Every time I see a photo of a scarecrow on Photobucket or Flickr he's surrounded by crows. Either scarecrows don't work or crows can't pass up a photo opportunity. The other day I was in a local park at lunchtime feeding the crows (most people feed ducks, but that's for sissies.) I'm hard-core: I feed crows, me. It was all a bit Tim Burton-esque. Anyway this bunch were a bit partial to my cornish pasty... I say, bunch, but of course the correct term is a murder of crows. Quite possibly my favourite collective noun... along with, an anthology of prostitutes or a drunkenship of cobblers! Who makes these up? Probably a bollocks of collective noun compiliers!!

You don't scare me!
