Magpie City

Almost every day at least twice a day I have to sing out "Good Morning/Afternoon Mr Magpie!"

Manchester is FULL of Magpies, it's actually bizarre. And yet there are never more then 2-3 together. The majority of the time it's just one, hence the greeting!

In fact as I'm writing this I can see two outside of my window

Not the greatest pics I grant you but you get my point!

One for sorrow

Two for joy

Three for a girl

Four for a boy

Five for silver

Six for gold

Seven for a secret, never to be told

Eight for a wish

Nine for a kiss

Ten for a bird you must not miss
