Yesterday morning the magpies by the sheep shelter were squawking like crazy... First I thought it was because I was running a drill nearby but finally thought something may be threatening the nest...(ravens do sometimes).. When I got to the tree three babies were hopping around the branches outside the nest and the parents were calling them to "move on out" in magpie chatter...
Before long two had fledged but at dusk one timid soul was still hopping close to the nest frantically...couldn't get a good shot... but it wasn't there this morning. You can see the nest just at the left in the photo....it is a very loose, raggedy affair and it's amazing that it doesn't blow away in a strong wind but they come back every year and reinforce it and use it over and over.....
