Magpies in my garden


will add this picture to a previous post where I gathered all the birds I can see in my garden.
This magpie is picking some leftover meat I placed on the bird feeder. I attracted magpies in my garden just as their babies had left the nest. It gave me the opportunity to watch their behaviour with their offspring.
This attracted crows too, although they were much more timid than the magpies.
Unfortunately by attracting these big birds, I realised that I also scared away the little ones.
So, I will no longer leave my leftover meat for them to eat and hopefully the little birds will come back to my bird feeder in bigger numbers.
