MR Goodrich's letter regarding naughty magpies was interesting but other birds themselves are not so innocent.
Only last week, I saw two thrushes carry out an unprovoked and vicious attack on a worm in my garden.
This has happened repeatedly over the last year and has forced the poor worms to seek safety by staying underground for long periods.
