I see you enjoy birds also, as I do! I look forward to reading some of your archives. We don't have magpies in our area (Oregon, USA), but a week ago, my husband and I took a road trip to the eastern part of our state and saw many there. They never would hold still enough for a photo though! :o) Nice blog!<BR/>FloraJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905956108283208842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10768347.post-1161731086245048232006-10-25T00:04:00.000+01:002006-10-25T00:04:00.000+01:00I love magpies.We used to have them visit us when ...I love magpies.<BR/>We used to have them visit us when we lived in California.<BR/>They love peanuts!

I hope YOU can attract them to your garden and we can then see your photo of them. I attract many birds to my garden as you have noticed in recent posts. Our BLUEJAY can be a bully at feeders chasing others away...I give them peanut treats to lure them away from the feeders. I tried growing strawberries this past summer in strawberry pots and it was successfull!looking forward to more next year.<BR/>I thank you for your brirthday greeting and generous comments<BR/>made at nature-trail! :)Naturegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177418253271097079noreply@blogger.com
