Injured Magpie - well it can walk and fly.

I noticed this magpie did not seem to flinch or fly away when I was in and out of my garden for most of the day yesterday, and it liked to go in out of the flower bushes ( I have loads, when it come to parents who are both garden enthusiasts!) 

Assuming it was just dehydrated due to the hot weather, i did give it some water in a flat dish, but it chose to ignore it completely and decide to help itself from the water sprinkler that was sitting aside. 

I contacted the local RSPB centre, but due to the circumstances surrounding COVID - 19, no-one is able to come out to assess the situation. 

I'm not sure what the signs of vulnerability are, however, because it seems to scare off any other birds that land in the garden! Not sure if that's normal, as it's definitely not nesting? 

It won't let you come near it, as it flies off into the bush. 

Thankfully, it didn't become a late night snack for anything, but i'm not sure how things will be tonight for it. It did eat some bird seed though! 

Any tips and advice will be much appreciated! 

Kindest,
