Gaz56 7 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Eventually I got one of the magpies visiting the garden by putting out a squirrel I shot one morning as bait. Worked a treat. The other of the pair Mr Sparrowhawk duly obliged. Not quite as satisfying as doing it yourself, but job done. Quote Link to post
