Magpie having a bad-feather day. We’ve had a couple of
dismal days recently, with incessant heavy rain from dawn to dusk, and the
magpie family (two parents plus three fledglings) have been taking turns to
perch on the TV aerial and shelter under the eaves of the house. They shake the
rain from their waterlogged plumage, preen for a while, then head out into the
garden again to search for food - mostly worms and small soil invertebrates
from our neighbours’ lawns..
The fledglings are still mercilessly harassing their parents
for food ….
