Black Root
Class 66 locomotive No. 66710 approaches the overbridge at Black Root on the northern edge of Sutton Park with 4L17, the 15:04 Birch Coppice to Tilbury working on Saturday 7th August 2021.
When I arrived here some thirty minutes earlier I was greeted by the sight of a murder of crows fluttering around the bridge parapet. I say crows, but I am not 100% sure that that's what they were. On the other hand I am reasonably certain that the black birds I saw were members of the Corvus genus. Maybe one day I will learn to distinguish between crows, ravens and rooks.
