Magpie family life

 


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 ….
