Normally. I’d want the magpies to win but I’ve gone right off them since I saw them bully some pigeons and kill a starling. Better luck next time, cat!
Amazing photos! Can I just tell you that I got excited seeing a Magpie! I’ve never seen one, Fiona! A bird featured in novels and children’s books through the ages and I’ve never seen one! I had no idea they were so large. A very impressive bird…and the cat is no slouch either. Loved this! Debra
Did I tell you about the time a cat attacked a magpie in my back garden. But the cat was getting attacked by another bird? And I didn’t know whether to resue the bird or the cat or just salute because of all the bad luck being generated?
I threw water over the lot of them.
me, mine, and other bits

Yes, I’m not a fan of either species, so I was happy enought o leave them to it.
That cat is far too well fed to take risks.
i think he was having fun, without having to do too much 🙂
Outnumbered but not outclassed. Great cat!
Patience!
Go on then, Fiona – who won?
Fabulous pictures 🙂
I left them to it, Kate. When I came back that way, all was clear, and there was no visible carnage 😉
I wish I could stare with the intensity of a cat…….
This one had a good line in tail thumping too, but I couldn’t capture that 🙂

Debra, I am so delighted by this! I feel like I’m National Geographic 🙂

This sounds hilarious, but my brain would probably have frozen! Good thinking water woman 🙂
