A good week for magpies...
No, I don't have unusual new birds visiting the deck or carrying on in the big maple.
But if magpies, known for their attraction to all things bright and shiny, could see what has been catching the eyes of internet users, they would be perching on my shoulders to see for themselves.
This is what is getting the most play - an amazing hoard of gold sword hilts and horse harness, thought to be battle trophies.
I prefer the collection in the picture - jewelry found in the grave of a Saxon princess, in NE England. Check it out here.
