Beady

He's got his (her?  how can you tell?) beady eye on me.  Today, for no apparent reason we had a family of crows and a family of magpies come to visit.  Three crows (one juvenile), and six magpies.  Mostly they just seemed to strut around scaring off all the other birds.  Jaffa was inside because it was pouring with rain and even she doesn't like that.
