Re: Spring is just around the corner.
At nesting time there is always a huge battle between the residient magpies, a couple of blackbirds and any renegades that are daft enough to get involved in the hope of doing a sneaky.
Although it was freeezing, this morning all hell broke loose with this lot. Screeches of rage..twigs were snapped off and tossed in the air...feathers flew and there were a few birds left looking slightly battered when it all went quiet again.
It will all begin again in the morning with the blackbirds exacting revenge whenever possible throughout the breeding season. Nature can be cruel.
