(Bukchon-the northern village in Seoul)— Do you see the persimmon tree laden with persimmons? It is a Korean long traditon for magpies. Our forefathers thought that it is keenly necessary to help each other, even with animals. You can see it easily when you just walk around streets in Seoul at late ...

Today I walked through the park on my way to rehearsal, and I heard this weird sound. It was an adolescent magpie, walking around with its mother. They did this funny stalking thing across the walkway and onto the golf-course, and I watched for a while. He (I gendered it as a he, although - impossib ...

Wasps are known to lay their eggs inside the bodies of ladybugs, using them as some sort of surrogate womb. That’s interesting, but not as interesting as the fact that the ladybugs survive the incident. “What is fascinating is that the ladybug is partially paralysed by the parasite, yet it’s eventua ...

This magpie walked in the back door the other day, and started eating bits of cornflake under the breakfast table. I think in another life he did real estate valuations - he gave the whole place a good going over, pretty much like he owned it. Ignored Hattie the cat in a fairly haughty way. After ab ...

By Marlene Affeld For many years I believed that the Black Billed Magpie was the Montana State bird. I was wrong, our state bird is the Meadow Lark. However, the opportunist and rather aggressive Black Billed Magpie is an icon of the American West and a welcome resident of Montana. Perhaps it should ...

. Spent a few days up the bush, visiting a farming friend. Some of you may remember the photos of him looking after a baby kangaroo. This time the kitchen was filled with the 'awking' sound of two baby magpies. This one, the younger of the two, was called Ozzie. Delighted in attacking toes. Mistaken ...

Footballing variety too, and that’s why we have license to deviate from the Middlesbrough FC minutiae from time to time – it’s Championship Roundabout!

Magpies pay tribute to their dead by laying wreathes, according to this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1221754/Magpies-grieve-dead-turn-funerals.html The article quotes one scientist as saying that “it’s bad biology to argue against the existence of animal emotions.” Note: T ...

We went to the next town shopping this morning. The snow is long gone and there is a strong drying wind so that some farmers with crops still unharvested are hard at work combining. There are few birds about but we did see several lone magpies both on the way and coming back. We saw one crow or perh ...
