Magpies have discovered my back garden again. Last time, they attacked and destroyed the house martins' nest, and threw the babies out onto the patio. House martins had nested there for many years, but they never returned.
Now they are terrorising the blackbirds, and I haven't seen the robin for nearly a week. I haven't seen any of the little birds recently, either.
WIBU to get a really powerful (accurate!) water pistol and shoot them every time I see magpies in my garden?
(And can anybody recommend a suitable water pistol?)
