magpie nesting

Hi All,

I point out once again, that my 21 Year GBS Report contains full descriptions 
of the timing of breeding from the GBS and the second and third edition 
includes the graphs of these, so the Magpie is certainly included. This will 
give an indication as to how ordinary or not it is to have nest building now (I 
think after the peak but I do not have the book with me now as I am in a hotel 
lobby.) The data were collected and analysed and published for a reason (this 
reason). So questions about the timing of the phases of nesting are easily 
answered there.

Sorry Bob though I am lost about the comment about "photo of the Magpie 
imitating a Cat-Bird."
