The creature on the left is Huck, the crow. He looks like an ordinary hooded crow - one of thousands lurking in the skies above Benevenagh. As crows go, he is quite a shy character and takes evasive action every time he sees a creature that doesn't fly like a crow.

However, this all changes at around six o'clock in the mornings, when he turns into something straight out of the movies or - our preferred explanation - he becomes a fully paid up member of the Limavady Glaziers Preservation Society.

Evidence of the above assertion can be found on YouTube via the link below.

Hans Huckebein, the crow

If you decide to watch, make sure you have the sound turned on. Huck believes in voicing his opinions at great volume.

This silly sign was spotted by our eagle-eyed editor in Catherine Street. We are not talking about the big monster giving tourist advice, but about the wee sign right behind and totally obscured by its larger brother. 

The small black and white symbol under the blue and white parking sign shows a tiny bicycle, so evidently it is allowed to park a bike between the two signs, assuming that you can squeeze one in.

The obvious question is of course, why erect a sign in such a hidden location? Not only is it near invisible but it is downright dangerous. Sharp eyed readers will no doubt have noticed that the larger sign has a bent bottom right corner. Obviously a short sighted cyclist has collided with it while trying to read his sign.

A Ballykelly landmark is rapidly disappearing into nothing. Our aerial view  shows the old radio tower next to the runway  being taken down bit by rusty bit.

It seems that one crane holds a platform carrying two fitters wielding - one hopes  - huge spanners, whilst the other crane is used to lower the recovered bits of the structure. Nice work if you can get it!

The army base in Ballykelly  is to close very soon, which will be a great blow to the economy of the village.

Our roaming reporter came across this scene outside the entrance to Tesco's, where they are attempting to build a new roundabout.

The two hard-working lads in the foreground seem to have uncovered a kerb, which must have been part of a previous road which led to the old railway bridge, which used to grace this area of the town in days gone by.

This brief flash from the past is covered up again - it was nice to be able to record it though.
