The Mischief maker - The Magpie

[SIMON GABRIELOW]

This is a piece of music which is about the mischievous [ sinister] Magpie birds. [ The British version of the bird species]

They don't have a song as we usually would think of it - instead a rattle like a gattlng gun - with chatter inbetween.  They are in reality usually up to some mischief when they appear on the scene!  They are like little bullies and taunt other [ I wasn't sure if I put this video on already previously so apologies, ahead, if this is the case!]

Irish band the Chieftains played a set of tunes called the chattering magpie. One of the Chieftains played a concertina, but in this clip, it only appears sitting on the floor.
