On a window ledge on the southern side of the John
Gorton Building in Parkes, a pair of magpies has established a nest jammed
between a downpipe and the building wall. The female has been sitting
since the middle of last week. Yesterday I watched the male bringing food
to the female. Both had been foraging but they flew together back to the
nest and the male gave his food to the female before she sat on the
nest.
I presume that the warmth of the building is enough
to offset the cold of frosty nights and therefore allow early
breeding.
