Hi all,
I was just wondering what is the matter with magpies? I often see them attacking each other, one bird on the ground and one having a good go at it. It does not appear that either birds are hurt, but it is odd behaviour. Is it bonding, or dominance or actual fighting or anything in between? And just as a by the by, I got over 110 emails today, dating back from the 8th of this month (last time I checked was yesterday). I don't suppose anyone alse had this? It looks like I recieved half the emails at the right time, and half of them now. Probably just the server...
Thanks,
Tobias
