With hindsight this was actually a completely predictable outcome of wearing big shiny earrings while fostering a baby magpie. I might need to tone down my jewellery while he is around!

We spent the morning sitting in the garden doing some birdwatching. ☀️ We saw two great spotted woodpeckers, a blue tit feeding her chicks in the tree, and a pair of wood pigeons mating. Ajax is learning a lot!

Ajax continues to strengthen his eye-beak coordination, and is now really great at picking up pieces of wood. Not quite so good at picking up worms.

Happy to share that the little magpie is now named Ajax, and he’s doing really well. 😊

Ajax has decided that he is much better at catching leaves than insects, and here he is tasting an apple leaf (maybe deciding whether he will be a vegetarian?)
