Magpies seem to have a lot of enemys, probably maybe due to not knowing enough about them

I like Magpie, yes they do eat young birds, but enough to make a difference??i doubt it.
Anyway, not had any on seed feeders, but during the really cold weather, I watched one trying to eat a fat ball, struggled at first, until it realised that by lifting the fat ball up and putting its foot on the mesh it was a easy meal

very clever birds, and always looking for trouble
