Scruffy

I was up at the allotment early - lots of picking to do (and feeding, obvs) but did a bit of tidying too. Mel inadvisably hailed a greeting from the cycle path where she was walking Sassie, so I was able to offload one rather oversized courgette and some runner beans. (Tricky over a high fence that has coiled barbed wire at the top, but I managed!).

An almost constant companion was this ungainly and scruffy young magpie lunbering about the plot making hoarse cries - with most of his adult plumage, but not around his neck which was just scrawny with baby fluff. Just missed blipping him stretching his neck and revealing it!
