This is the amusing moment a magpie chased a toddler in a park in Scotland in the UK.

The mischievous bird suddenly took a shine to the little girl and chased her around for several seconds, according to the grandmother who filmed the cute scene.

"It was quite amusing and there ended up being a few bystanders all having a giggle," the girl's grandmother said.

Myself and my toddler granddaughter were taking a stroll in the lovely Callander Park, Central Scotland. My granddaughter toddler over to take a closer look at a little magpie which then decided to take an interest back, following her for a while. By the end my granddaughter's face says "this is getting serious now". It was quite amusing and there ended up being a few bystanders all having a giggle.
