Talking of which, there is a similar problem with taking pictures of Matsushima in Miyagi, because the tour boats are pursued by lots of seagulls. The tourists love feeding them, but they were a right pain when it came to taking pictures of the islands. I did get some great pictures of my wife feeding the gulls, though. Highly recommended if you ever come to visit Tohoku. By the sound of things, it’s lucky it wasn’t a great sunset – even if it had been, it would probably have been ruined by all those crows.

I suspect there is an ideal roosting spot near that mans place and their eating of his cat's food is incidental to their roosting for the night. At least that is my theory of the moment. I've seen such behavior before. Crows will gather in huge flocks (called “murders”) at sunset to settle in (roost) for the night.
