more peanut raiders

My sister and her family, and my brother came over for Sunday lunch today so I didn't really spend so much time practising with the camera pointed at the bird table, securely attached to my new tripod.

We had a lovely time together, catching up, and it gave me an excuse to bake biscuits and a coffee and walnut cake (without HAVING to eat it all !)

But as I peeled the potatoes, I could see several more visitors coming for their Sunday peanuts. I couldn't resist blipping the jay again.

All this excitement - and Strictly results too...
