How do you discourage the magpies? We do get a couple trying to
enter
the
ivy covered poplar that all the small birds live
They're a pest and a pain, handsome though they are. The old country
people
used to inject an egg with poison and put it into nests the magpies
were
plundering - or shoot them, I'm afraid.

A much maligned species.
Not when they destroy other small birds.

Indeed. I've seen them do it and it's not pretty.
It might not be pretty, but predation is just a part of nature.
No shit, Sherlock. ;-)
Alimentary, my dear Watson :-)
