It was a looking-out-of-the-window sort of day today, mostly watching the magpies coming and going and wondering what was happening in their nest.
There was a lot of noise coming from it this afternoon, so perhaps there are babies already.
Both of them came and sat in the big tree this afternoon, and one made periodic visits to take some of the food I've left out on the windowsill.
They ignore the sultanas, seed mix and almonds, and pick out the walnuts.
I almost bought dried mealworms for them, but was defeated by the creepiness.
Their nest is a marvel of engineering. It's built in a slender tree that lashes about in the wind but it's as solid as a rock. How do they do it? They don't even have arms.
