It's Either the Magpies...

...or the pigeons...

That keep leaving things in my garden!  I suspect the magpies.  Last week, a round cardboard tube and a large solid pine cone.  This week, this pine cone thingymabob.  And I watched out the kitchen window as a magpie was chewing on a bit of an old rubber chicken (old dog toy...)

And as I am backblipping, this thing has gone from the path to one of my planters and today it was on the garden table...
