Kaleidoscope

The badgers have had a party in the night...

And I have only seen the side passage I have not seen the back garden yet.....

The magpie has not flown up the side passage this morning...yet... this particular magpie has banged on my kitchen window if there was no food down there, he can get very aggressive, he probably has babies to feed, and there is not enough food for everyone, but I cannot encourage an aggressive magpie onto my property. I cannot even put food in the front garden for him because there are nesting blackbirds, nesting bluetits, and nesting sparrows, and a magpie will go for those young if there's not enough food.

I had a creative idea last night, and I hung some bunting from side to side along that passage. And I don't think he likes that, it's probably too distracting to his sense of perception.

Maybe that has worked, and hopefully he will go somewhere else... I will find out later this morning....

Last year the magpie came with his wife and his grown-up babies, and I had given Mr. Magpie food while they were in the nest, and there was food in the back garden for them but none of them were aggressive, nor did they poop like this aggressive magpie does.

The mother blackbird is not bothered about the bunting, she just comes in hopping on the ground to get any cat food she can get...her nesting tree is in my front garden...

Creative is the Lilac of yesterday made into a kaleidoscope.

I'm going to be busy today, so I won't be looking in... I'll check in tomorrow morning, probably...

Take care
