This stone sentinel keeping a watchful eye over the Lavally countryside was not so watchful when I discovered him face down in the water of the bird-bath.

After restoring him to his rightful position I was advised it would not be long before the magpies would knock him back into the water again. Oh well, at least he will enjoy the the scenery and the magnificent sunshine for a while.
