Average is six eggs that take 18-20 days to hatch.

We all know that magpies are part of the Corvid family which is known to be clever. I was watching one in my garden this morning trying to peck at the fat balls hanging feeder. It was just out of reach so the Magpie had a lunge and connected with the feeder and set it swinging. When the feeder swung towards the Magpie it found it could get a decent peck at the fat balls. Having learnt this lesson it then set the feeder swinging every time before trying to peck the fat balls. Brilliant. :clap:
