 I am having difficulties getting a buyer for my father's house and I can undersftand why buying and selling homes is one of the most stressful events in ones life. Ranting and raving at yet another time waster I looked out on the back lawn.

There was a magpie astride a pile of feathers. I opened the door to get a closer look and the magpie flew off. Went to retrieve the starling carcass and discovered it was still breathing....just. Back to the house to get a box to cradle it in the vain hope it might recover. Back to the door and it had gone!

Momentarily I thought it recovered....then saw it firmly gripped in the beak of a black backed gull as it flew away.

And I thought I was having a bad day!

Well at least he got one last sightseeing flight around the neighbourhood in the sunshine ...before he was devoured!!
