Autumn cheer

I always cast a glance up to that hole and imagine what might be living in the farm building.  Today, nothing popped out, as usual, but I enjoyed watching this jackdaw drinking from the old tyre that I think is holding the roof on. It looked like it was howling as it tilted its head back to swallow.

Which reminds me, a Halloween trail is going up in our village - a positive way to replace the crazy one-night stand, I think. The house over the road is looking bewitchingly ghoulish.
