I just had to share this with you! I put some dog biscuits out for the fox this morning, as she sometimes wanders through the garden about midday, and usually has a squizz to see if there is any food on the verandah.
Anyhow, I noticed the biscuits had been disappearing, but I hadn’t seen the fox at all and wondered where they were going.
So I am sitting here writing and something caught my eye. I looked up and there was the Magpie….picked up a biscuit, flew over to the birdbath and dropped it into the water!!!! Then he flew back a few seconds later and picked the biscuit up out the water! 🙂
How clever is that! I wasn’t quick enough with the camera to catch him at the waterbowl but nevertheless I got him on the verandah near the foxes plate. Clever chappie.
ooo and there goes the fox, through the garden right on time and the biscuits have gone! 😦
What a pretty bird, for some reason I always thought magpies were black….

Hey Ivonne. Yes, so did I 🙂 It was only one day when I saw the bird on the verandah and wondered what it was that I discovered in a bird book, that it was in fact a magpie. Gorgeous colours!
