The study aimed to describe Eurasian magpies' nesting site preferences and tree selections (Pica pica bacterium) in the Suru Valley area of Ladakh, Himalaya. To achieve this, the research area wasdivided into five different habitats and combinations of the line transect approach and the head-to-head counting method wasemployed. The findings revealed that the Eurasian Magpies preferred residential and woodland settings over desert regions. Two thousand one hundred thirty-four nests were discovered in several tree species, with Populus alba as the most favored. Salix alba, Salix elegans and Populus balsamifera were followed. The least preferred nesting trees were Rosa webbiana and Prunus armeniaca. Not a single nest was discovered on either of the Juniperus indica or Robinia pseudoacacia trees, despite their presence in the research region. Insights into the nesting habits and preferences of Eurasian magpies in the distinctive ecological setting of Suru Valley are provided by this study, which can aid in a better understanding of the exploitation of their habitat and its protection in the area.
