Luckily they don't manage to get at the nuts. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with them. They have to eat, too!<BR/><BR/>I loved the magpies in Australia. They made an amazing warbling sound, not the harsh racket the magpies here make.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800917080090010655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-60871335711009001332008-11-06T07:36:00.000-08:002008-11-06T07:36:00.000-08:00That is a lovely photograph, did you take it?
