Watching a magpie

Bushy-Black has just seen a rare visitor to the garden – a magpie! It's much bigger than the usual flying dinners. He didn't have a hope of catching it, though. The extra picture is the first sighting, just before the magpie hopped up to the bird feeder.


Day 4 of feeling grotty and this was the worst. The headache was worse than ever and I was sick first thing. There was no way I could face a screen so work was out. However, I got steadily better as the day progressed. Thank goodness! I was getting seriously stir-crazy having to do nothing except sleep, drink water and eat potatoes. By the afternoon, screens were OK, although scrolling still pummelled my head, so as long as the picture was still, all was fine. Phew.
