Magpies
Much maligned bird I know but so entertaining at close quarters. Get two or three together an they talk to each other and make the wierdest of noises.
Poolside Hide They can also be very obliging once they have accepted the hide
Bit noisy especially in the blacks . Tried various things but made it worse ! As usual!!
