Magpies nest-building, 21 March 2018
A pair of magpies have been busy, buliding their nest in the top of a tall shrub in the back-garden. The shrub is all upright stems, and magpie beaks naturally hold sticks horizontally! They insist on using sticks 2-3 feet long, and then struggle to get them in past the uprights. It’s a shaded spot…
