Funny you should say that, I was watching a magpie the other day through the binoculas. He was taking peanuts (a whole row in his beak) going over to the lawn, burying them, going back, getting the nuts etc. Just hope he can remember where they are for later.

I think our squirrels would steal the peanuts , they would be gone when the Magpie came back for them ...........

It,s nice that they come back every year , shows they feel safe there :0)

I see Irish that you have photographic identification of the hedgehog attackers, being as you are so fond of your magpies as well as your hedgehog I hope my explanation was right!! and they do not get accused of being murderers!
