I hear this too. May be related to that they have a nest in the big tree that
almost overhangs the house.

The night is dark and full of ... magpies?
Despite the darkness of an almost new moon (8.3% waning crescent), a magpie
was happily caroling well past midnight. (Another - presumably it's mate -
chimed in occasionally.)
A pleasant change from the usual Willy Wagtails and Pied Currawongs (the
latter
in the early pre-dawn, rather than the dead of night.)
