This Magpie kept trying to make the Sparrow hawk leave the fence by flying at it and in the end the Magpie flew down to eat something. Then the Sparrow Hawk had his revenge, dived down and chased the Magpie off.

I've seen them squabble before and the Hawk doesn't always win Linda. Super photo.

Thanks Shirley, DD and Waddy. Magpies can be quite aggressive when they want to be.

Hi Amy, The Sparrow hawk took the flak for a while but the Magpie got his just desserts in the end.
Thanks Wildrose it was a special moment shared.
