Day 489 The winner takes all

The jackdaw did win out on the bird feeders but the magpie didn't leave before grabbing a beakful of food.  Today was definitely big bird day with magpies, jackdaws and parakeets vying for food.  Other days, only the blue tits, great tits and the occasional robin visit.
The weather has definitely turned cooler and wetter and we woke to rain this morning.  The rest of the day was dry though and I managed to venture out to our local High Street with Daughter #2 and her new addition.  I drove there as it is a little too far for us to walk and then carry back shopping.  It was fortunate that I could park just yards from the two shops that we visited as neither of us could work out how to assemble the car seat onto the buggy wheels, so Stella-Rose had to be carried.  Time to check out the hand book again I think!
