The Spoilers

Autumn

A rasping bird call caught my attention. There it was, a Magpie, helping itself to an apple:

It was not alone. Nearby was a Jackdaw with the same intention:

In fact, not one but two Jackdaws:

It wouldn't be so bad if they concentrated on one apple but they have a habit of taking a few pecks at each and end up ruining a lot of the crop.
