Philip et al,

The last week or so I've noticed the nighttime Magpie has started up here
in Higgins, as well.  Sort of nice being greeted by that when
opening the bathroom door in the middle of the night (can't hear it in
the bedroom, but can't miss it as soon as you enter the bathroom in our
house.  Regardless of time of night, it is always warbling every
night now.

Cheers.
