uncensored extracts from Greg Becker's allotment diary
Translation:
snow on bags
blue shadow of snowy morning
some days nothing happens other than a succession of birds appearing as if waiting in the wings
queueing for their cue
I saw various unidentified flocks of birds fluttering on and off stage
but the robins stole the show
on cold days robins will spontaneously appear where ever there is a human gardener
and find a perch free of snow
nothing escapes their attention
as there was nobody about I took a quick pee into the compost - relieved not to have to hide in a corner
away from other gardeners or passing golfers
but within seconds of me walking away a robin was investigating the area of melted snow left behind
Greg Becker's personal visual record of the triumphs and trials of an artist, illustrator and vegetable gardener.

Allotment Notebook 1. Crow Behaviour
uncensored extracts from Greg Becker's allotment diary
Translation:
crow behaviour
on the boarders of the realm of crows
enter the crow empire at your peril
mobbing
flocking
cropping
shocking
from the black arrows there is no escape
mobbing hawks is common practice
the patrols are out or lying in wait
crows are always drawn to wigwams
(observations on the crow empire)
they are undeterred by most other residence and even away
from the crow realm show great courage and assertiveness
crow behaviour 2 - distribution
crows gather randomly on open ground
but are never seen in circles
or squares
or dicky bows
