Injured Magpie: Murderer! , Magpie, 23-01-2021, David Abraham, Lower Carbarns Farm,Motherwell , Clyde
My attention was drawn to a dead Magpie hanging by its' head in a Hawthorn,on closer approach I noticed this live bird sitting slightly above & behind the dead bird,it seemed reluctant to leave,as I arrived next to the tree it hopped up & out to the opposite side of the Hawthorn,before hopping down & onto the ground,making its' escape by hopping off along the ground,this is when I realised it had a badly injured wing!...I fetched the dead bird out the tree(its head was jammed between two thorns) & saw that the back of its' skull was missing & its' brains had been scooped out(presumably by the triumphant looser-no winners in this fight as I'm sure this bird will soon succumb to its injuries)....to conclude,it would appear the birds had fought within the confines of the Hawthorns' branches & thorns with an unfortunate outcome!
