More on magpies

Spotted this week - an enterprising magpie checking out the rookery for anything of interest.

I don't think he'll get away with that when the rooks start the new nesting season...

Magpies everywhere

Is it just me, or has everyone been seeing magpies all over the place this week?

Any ideas why?
