The Magpie Story II 喜鵲的故事 II

今年五月之後，喜鵲夫婦的舊巢一直丟空，但是本月（十二月）初那裡又有了動靜 ：一對喜鵲正從那裡採集小樹枝，搬到以前黑領椋鳥曾經「試用」的燈柱上，開始 築起巢來！
The old magpie nest was deserted since last May. I was surprised to find in early December that a pair of magpies were starting a new nest at the Black-necked Starlings' light post – using materials from the old nest!
這次的兩隻喜鵲都有長長的尾羽，其中一隻尾較長，體形也稍為大，暫時就叫牠「 鵲生」，而牠的配偶就叫「鵲太」吧。不知是不是上次的那一對。
Both partners have complete tail feathers this time. I call the bird with longer tail and bigger body Mr M, and his mate Mrs M. Not sure if they are the same couple as last time.
每天清晨七時未到，兩夫婦便開工築巢…
They start work early in the morning before 7:00…
偶然也會站在一起看日出。
Sometimes they will share a moment together for the sunrise.
到了上星期天，新巢尚未完成，但舊巢已差不多全拆光了。
Although the new nest was far from complete, the old nest was almost gone by last Sunday.
拿以前的舊照一比，有不少巢材不知所縱，會不會是給另外一些鳥生鳥太拿走了？
無論如何，相信牠們已做到物盡其用，拆樓零污染。
Comparison with an old shot indicate that a lot of material is not accounted for –had they been taken away by yet another couple? In any case, I trust they have achieved 95% recycling with the demolition.
球場上仍不時傳出大嘴烏鴉的叫聲，鵲生鵲太在這裡營巢，會不會又被牠們破壞呢 ？
I can still hear the Large-billed Crows occasionally. Will they tolerate the Magpies this time?

自從上次的報告之後，喜鵲夫婦繼續築巢。
The Magpies continued to build the nest since the last report.
舊巢離新巢約四十米，高度也相同，因此搬運材料比較方便省力。
The old nest is within 40m of the new one and at the same height. This save a lot of effort in material delivery.
物盡其用，舊巢的每一根小樹枝都不會浪費。
Not a single twig was wasted.
有時牠們也會從別處撿些回來。
They also picked up some elsewhere.
根據週六和週日的有限觀察，早上十時之前牠們最活躍，之後便較少見到，但是傍 晚時分兩夫婦倆會回來巡視一下，然後才飛到晚上棲息的地方。
From my limited observations on weekends, the Magpies were most active building the nest before 10:00 a.m. and were seldom seen after that. However, they would return in the evening to take a brief look before flying to their night roost.
如是過了十多天，昨天早上一對大嘴烏鴉終於出場了。牠們一唱一和，「呱－ 呱－ 呱－ 呱－ 」的叫著，圍繞球場飛了一圈，又在舊喜鵲巢上停留了一會。
The Large-billed Crows finally turned up yesterday. Cawing loudly, they flew around the perimeter of the playground and stopped briefly on the old nest.
喜鵲夫婦卻似乎沒有理會，繼續工作。
The Magpies kept on working as if they were not there.
其中一隻大嘴烏鴉飛到遠處的一棵木麻黃上，又不斷「呱－呱－呱－ 呱－」的叫，像是要宣示主權。
由於趕著上班，之後發生甚麼事就不得而知了。
One of the Large-billed Crows perched on a Horsetail tree, making calls repeatedly as if to make it clear that who's the Boss.
As it was time to go to work, no further observation was made on what happened next.
今早 (25/12/04) 清晨照例開機拍攝…咦！怎麼鳥巢不見了？會不會是望遠鏡瞄錯了另外一枝燈柱？
定神檢查之下，雖然非常不願意，也要接受現實：今年年初開始憂慮的事情不幸真 的發生了，九成是昨天球場的管理人員因事將巢拆去。
As usual, I turned on the camera this morning (25/12/04). Oops – where's the nest？
After a brief confirmation, what I had been worrying for nearly one year had at last happened – most probably the nest was removed by the management of the playground yesterday for some reasons.
下午到球場去看看，平台上只剩下幾根小樹枝，而燈柱旁的地上也散著一些。
During the visit to the playground this afternoon, only two twigs were left on the work platform and more were scattered on the ground next to the floodlight post.
唉！想不到這續集不到一個月便要悲劇收場。
It is a pity that this sequel has to end sadly in less than a month.
