My theme for October is the birds I have photographed while out and about.
I love magpies (Gymnorhina tibicen), they are such intelligent birds and have the most beautiful song.
Taken at Bidgigal July23
Nice shot, I have a love hate relationship with magpies. I love their markings but after being tormented by them on walks over the years, I cover my head when I see them heading my way
Lovely close up. i am with Christine Louise as far as maggies are concerned, @365projectclmutlow not because I have been attacked, but a maggie attacked a couple of our regular kookaburras in our garden a few days ago and I had to shoo it off. It has been so aggressive to all the regular birds who visit us
A wonderful close-up , but I have no love for the magpie, @365projectclmutlow@onewing - Beautiful to look at but are notorious for attacking smaller birds, , pecking at the eyes of new born lambs, and devouring eggs and youg chicks in the nest!
@onewing how interesting Babs - the maggies in our garden and street seem to be the underdogs mostly - they, and the kookas get chased away by the noisy miners who seem to rule the roost in our garden - the maggies and kookas don't seem to bother each other
