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.
it was the magpie, nicked the biscuits!
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!
