Thank you Jacek. It is beautiful; it is also sad that the birds have to fly like that being chased away from place to place. Maybe they like it, or got used to it, who knows? I doubt it though. I do not think I have ever seen a szpak. I only remember sparrows, and here, of course, I have seagulls and all other fish-loving birds. The most fascinating bird for me is a crow, the bird I had seen at the age of over twenty in Washington D.C. for the first time in my life. What was weird was that the bird had totally black feet and the beak. I thought it fell into a barrel of tar at first. It is a very fascinating bird; I have never imagined it like that, although I knew that crows were black, but not like that. I do not know how they sing though, because I have not seen one since.

Maybe the bird you saw was not a crow but a raven?
It could have been, Dodo, but it also looked extremely intelligent and mystical. It was a big bird with absolutely black feet and a big black beak, almost navy blue in shade.
I think they talk sometimes, like in Dickens story; I should have had a conversation with him.
