Christmas treats 3 (Pica pica)

I used to be a bit frustrated that the magpies would manage to untie the Xmas treats and fly away with them. This year they didn't do that. Also this year I hung up enough "cookies" that a magpie or two could be enjoying cookies and there would still be others available for the smaller birds.

Yes, for such big birds, and such scary ones for the little guys, they're surprisingly skittish. If I just slooowl y stand up by the window and raise my camera, they're off like a rocket. But this guy was too enthralled by the fat cookie, I guess.
