A couple of mornings I have spotted an adult with three juveniles. Possibly they take it in turns to visit or it may be that one has decided this is its favourite feeding spot.

Juvenile Magpie
A juvenile Magpie is still a regular visitor on and off during each day. I don't have to see it to know it is there. The harsh cackle it makes most of the time lets me know it is about. A few times I have seen it feeding on the suet ball feeder and this morning was the first time I managed to get a few shots of it before it noticed me.

I have a soft spot for all the crows, despite the bad press. And magpies are as clever as any of these clever birds. Good to read you encourage it in the garden. I have a pair who sit by me on the patio waiting for me to drop crumbs, which I do frequently these days. Andrew
ReplyDeleteThey certainly let you know they're about, don't they :)
ReplyDeleteFull of character.
You are never alone with a Magpie John.{:)
ReplyDeleteHello Andrew. All the corvids round here are very timid but it is interesting to watch them as they can often be seen working a way round a problem.
ReplyDeleteThey do Keith. They are rarely silent.
ReplyDeleteThat's true Roy.
ReplyDeleteHi John, it's so nice to catch up on all the wildlife happenings in your garden. I wonder if your juvenile magpies are as noisy and demanding as ours are? It certainly sounds as if they might me.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine they are Mick. They are rarely silent and can be heard quite a distance away.
