Thieves

Security company came to add a switch to entryphone - we can now switch off the buzzer at night! Fed up with occasional scallywag (addicts/alcoholics) ringing random bells in early hours of the morning.

Then took 'Enzo' for a drive, as wanted to understand why a coolant symbol is now showing permanently on the dashboard. Subsequent investigations explain there are two (electronic) dashboard 'modes' available. Must have selected the other option. So thankfully seems fine.

Went to Brockenhurst. Great time to go. The tourists haven't arrived yet. Went for a drink in one of the hotels, hoping to find the manager we know from a Bournemouth hotel. Staff advised he had moved to a nearby hotel. So we went for a walk to the new place, looked inside - but walked in and walked straight out.

Fascinated to see hundreds of birds in trees on the way back to the car. Passers by explained they were Jackdaws*.
Duly blipped them.

Return by Boscombe. Popped into Aldi and the Polish shop.

*"These small crows are highly intelligent and social, and easily pick up tricks and new skills in the wild as well as in captivity. Once a tame jackdaw was trained by some Italian thieves to steal money from cash machines but it's more common to see them working out how to gain access to bird feeders!
