A friend in the south has sent me these pics of young magpies playing on her
washing. The magpie family moved into her garden when 'their' tree over the
road was removed. She says they are there all the time and often do this while
she watches from the house. They like it best when it's windy and the clothes
flap enticingly.
I saw some magpies doing the same thing with the webbing strung between some
tree stakes at Fairbairn. At first I thought they trying to take the
webbing to use as
nest lining, but it seemed to be a game. From memory, it was windy that
day too.
