We have magpies too. Lots of them. And yes they are magical.
Ailz says there a kerfuffle outside her window the other day and a hawk or kestrel went whooshing by with a magpie in its fist.
Of course you know the rhyme.
"One for sorrow,
two for joy,
three for a girl,
four for a boy,
five for silver,
six for gold
and seven for a secret never to be told."
Whenever I see a single magpie I immediately look round for others to avert the curse.
