The first fledging of the year in the garden yesterday - a very demanding magpie, with two harassed parents that were feeding it with worms and insect larvae collected from our neighbour's lawn.
Looks like these birds have only fledged one offspring this spring, but they have been battling with crows and squirrels that have been predating their eggs and nestlings. Usually they raise two or three fledglings in their spring brood.
