Importing apples highlights damage to our environment

I've been watching the antics of three grey crows that form a small gang hereabouts. Last night, in the near darkness and drizzle, when I was walking by the sea, I saw them in formation pecking their way across a swathe of village greenery because, perhaps, the worms were out.

Then this morning I looked out my work room window to see them striding up the gravelled driveway to my house, then flying into a low apple tree that grows alongside.
