I’ve never seen so many magpies in the garden as this past week. There have often been two together (for joy) and at one point even six, which I am reliably informed is “for gold”. It’s a sign - League 1 here we come!

Yes, I had six in my back garden the day before yesterday. Often see two or three, but I'm sure six is the most I've ever seen together around here. They were having a bit of a scrap though, four attacking two.
