    I have to say that Magpie densities do appear to be very high in certain Dublin parks, notably Phoenix,Corkagh and the the botanic gardens. This coupled with equally high densities of Grey Squirrels can't be a good thing for nesting songbirds.:(

    IMO the OPW should be trapping both species as part of their management of these magificient state properties:)

    I wonder could they introduce Pine marten into the Phoenix Park:confused:
    Would they have the habitat there to survive? They would hammer those nasty Grey squirrels. fighting0032.gif
