How things used to look in the garden
I counted 14 magpies, inc the blurred one in flight.
As for variations of the magpie song, I found this from February 2012: 14 Magpies What does 14 mean?

Sorry the pictures won't enlarge at all.
That's your lot for now as this is still so frustrating
hi Linda, you are very lucky to see Siskin and Chaffies. We don't see them very often at all, in fact once a year is good where I am. They are lovely looking birds. My pictures never upload very big either, but it is not such an issue as you can click on them and they enlarge with one click so you get to see them in full size. Great collection. Nice to hear from you again.
Lovely to see the garden and the visitors again.
When you go into insert on the options, then pick image/video, do you see a blue box that says choose file? Under that is the 2 x dimension boxes to change the numbers for the size?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I don't get that option on my Samsung tablet CL, pics have to be enlarged first in the Gallery as much as possible before posting ... maybe the same for Linda??

Nice to see the Siskin Linda, we had our first pair ever in the garden a couple of weeks ago. Great to have 2 foxes
