Five For Silver, Six For Gold

Many are familiar with the rhyme* involving Magpies but what do I get for counting over twenty at one time?



Trust me by the time I got my camera, they were taking it in turns (in small groups) to do circuits above my garden.












*One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.
