As someone in the middle of getting laser hair removal, I say go for it if you can and find a good place to have it done. I’m very happy with results even after just a few sessions.
If you haven’t already, have you considered installing a few small ramps around the pool for animals to climb out when they fall in? You can find some simple cheap-ish ones on amazon like this one: m.media-amazon.com/…/81hGTaHIS3L.
If you’re short on time I recommend Great Art Explained in 15 Minutes. May not be exactly what you’re looking for but the creator puts in a lot of work and you get to learn some really interesting things about art pieces and the artists who made them.
I saw one of these some 30 odd years ago (not in the UK) as a kid and it ignited a lifelong love of birds. Haven’t seen one in almost as long, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart. Lucky people getting to see them in the UK!
Hmm when you say flying in formation do you mean in like a cloud or a specific shape? If so could be starlings as they have a very varied repertoire of songs and can mimic other birds (which might explain why Merlin can’t identify them)
When you say ‘jagged wings’ do you mean you can see the individual feather tips (like fingers)? Could be fish crows? The juvenile sound could be a little seagull-y?
Grackles are usually fully black apart from having lighter eyes. Some species flock together, and like starlings they also minic other birds.
Edit: one thing to note is Merlin doesn’t always work well if you’ve turned GPS off on the phone. That might also interfere with identification
Hmmm flying in formation like that sounds more like waterfowl. Could it be cormorants? Are you by the shore or near a large body of water? They can be all black like crows and the begging sound of the double crested cormorant does sound kind of seagull-y?
If they’re fish crows though, that’s cool, they’re rarer than the carrion crows we’re more used to. In any case I’m glad if I could be of help and I hope you continue to enjoy listening to and watching birds!
