How wonderful that you have magpies in your garden too and one has actually been coming to your window ledge. They are one of the most intelligent birds and apparently recognize people. They know who to avoid and who they can trust to come closer to.

Sometimes when I sit in the garden first thing in the morning, they will come really close and the other day when I was having lunch in the garden one came so close. He wanted whatever I was having. Hard not to feed them, but I don't because I like them to stay totally self-sufficient. We do leave water out for them though as sometimes it doesn't rain for weeks. Look forward to seeing the magpies come into your drawings now. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
