First the pigeons over the grass feeding on seeds blown down from the trees perhaps. (There had been some breezes the last number of weeks, causing rustling of leaves on more than a few occasions.) On the other side of the utility block where the illegal Feeders deposited their scraps over the paving there had been none. A middle-aged Chinese lady was burning paper money in the incinerator at the base of her block, good orange flame got going within. If the woman kept a maid the girl must have been busy taking the grandchildren to school. On the other side of the sheltered walkway branching off from the long one leading from the back blocks a mynah triggered a lachrymose face with the plastic sleeve for the styrofoam cups in its beak, just lifting itself up to the trees and its nest there.
