I was about to hang out the laundry this morning when suddenly l heard a loud croaking and rattling noise outside. I stepped out to see a spectacular argument going on between a Magpie and two Crows ~ all quite large birds. It was obviously a territorial dispute, a bit like two old men haggling over their garden boundary.
These bird gatherings are called ‘parliaments’ ~ also known as a 'murder of Crows' and deal with social standing etc.
It was all quite interesting and they didn’t seem at all bothered that l was below hanging out the washing, however the Crow on the right did keep his beady eye on me.

Last week l also spotted two wood pigeons in same garden.
