We have had a family of Magpies in our yard for the past year.
Well, it is nesting time, and one Magpie has been trying to build a nest in one of our trees.
We thought at one stage that they had moved out of our area to look for another tree.
(Last year we had a tree with their nest in it removed & they have been lost without it & looking for another place to nest)
Bernie & I have been exhausted just watching this bird.
Every twig piece of wire kept falling to the ground, day after day, week after week..
Well, imagine our surprise to look up last Wednesday & spy this half finished nest. They are busy building it.
We are happy that they have now picked their spot - all is well.
