On my way out tonight i see several bluetits chasing a magpie , with the magpie chasing a bluetit.I see the magpie go into a bush and pointed out the the missus about the magpie chasing them.Then all of a sudden out pops the magpie with a bluetit in its beak.
As much as i felt sorry for the Bluetits i took it as a call of nature and that the magpie needs to survive.
I was an impressive sight , that one does not see every day.

Had a similar thing this morning as I walked up the steps to work a Jay was being chased off, don't think it got anything in the end. That's nature!

There are 2 Blackbirds nesting in a tree beyond our garden, they started going mental this evening. Found out why when a Magpie appeared on the roof with an egg in his mouth!
