Magpie eating bees?This morning I saw a magpie in my two little hedges in the garden, which at the moment is covered in bees (its flowering). He/she seemed to be picking up and eating the bees. Is this normal magpie behaviour? or does it mean what ever they normally eat is a bit scarse (sp?)
Bit of a pain though eating the bees, as it seems to be the honey bees he/she is going for rather than the bumbles (dad has a hive within the village).

Not something I've seen but I wouldn't be surprised.

Magpies are quite capable of that. They've emptied both a blackbird's nest and I suspect a squirrel drey here. They have tried to raid my birdfeeders too. Though I do confess I enjoyed watching them torment a local tomcat - one bouncing up and down in front of him and the other pecking his backside.
