| Juvenile magpie |
The magpies have successfully raised a couple of young. After all the soap opera with the carrion crows, rooks and jackdaws in the tree down the road they'd given up on refurbishing the nest they've been using the past couple of years. Instead they waited until the pear tree next to it was in full leaf and they moved in and refurbished a nest that had been abandoned about five years ago. The youngsters have been clattering round the trees at the bottom of the garden for the past couple of days, today they were allowed to forage unsupervised. Which mostly involved rummaging around the bases of the blackcurrants, throwing sticks around the path and not noticing the pile of mealworms I put out on one of the feeder trays.
