Yes, a right greedy blighter!
Although you've got to applaud it's beak control: getting, holding and then flying off with those two chunks of fat balls in it's beak!
Never seen Magpies on feeders before this year. They are getting quite good with the peanut feeder as well.
It almost has that, "Oops, I've been spotted. These are actually for my friends and not for me", look on it's face!

At least one has now mastered it. 
If it costs me more in fat balls that's OK, especially as I haven't seen any signs of them attacking the young song birds in the garden. Yeti. LOL!

First year I've had magpies on my feeders too, demolishing the fat. They're always around, but until recently, have rarely ventured into my garden. Having said that, they're usually seen off by collared doves now, which is saving me a little cash...
