Hi
I have enjoyed having loads of birds in my garden this year with a huge increase in sparrows which I adore (I recently found a baby with no feathers / fresh out of nest and couldn't find the nest so I drove it to a vet with an incubator recommended by the RSPB). I have lots of other birds visiting including Magpies, which I have always considered rather beautiful birds, but not any more. A magpie has just killed a sparrow and flown off with it. I am horrified! How do I protect the sparrows in my garden from Magpies?
