A great commotion outside this morning, at least a dozen silvereyes dive-bombing a magpie. Closer inspection revealed that the magpie had a baby silvereye in its beak. Several other magpies were also hassling the first magpie, and disputing ownership of
the morsel. The whole event caught the attention of the currawongs and the mudlarks who also seemed very interested in grabbing the prize. The silvereyes desperately bombed the lot of them until the magpie had the little fledgeling tightly enough to fly off,
accompanied by the currawongs and other magpies, all harassing it to grab the little bird. All flew off the Percival Hill in a cloud of squeaks and screeches.
I suppose this counts as a breeding record!
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what code to use?
