CES Visit 7 07/07/17

We have Magpie nesting on our CES site and we often see and hear them more than we catch them, in the last 10 years we have only caught one on our site that has flown into our nets before today. It was a pleasant surprise for one of our trainee's who had never encountered a Magpie being caught, he duly got to process the bird and experience how tight a grip they can have around a finger.

Try not to let it grip your finger...oops too late
