Do you know what that is?

That, for your information, is a magpie nest. 

Are airguns still legal? 

Maybe I can get a catapult. 

The thought of them raising another three fledglings in that tree, right outside my bedroom window makes me want to phone the council. Except they wouldn't take me seriously. 


The cats are scared of them and even the squirrels are giving that tree a wide berth. 


Magpies! Bless and save me, they are worse than seagulls.
