Our magpies are the most stunning songbirds, and quite striking in their bw contrasts. Thank you for the awesome comments on my photos

what a cool magpie - our are very elegant, but their song isn't the most tuneful

[Jacqueline]

Great capture, the ones i’ve seen can’t sing at all....

[Beryl Lloyd]

A great look-alike to our Magpies - but I have never heard their song !!

[Sharon Lee]

Nice

@shannejw @jacqbb @sugarmuser try this, but somehow they just don't quite do justice like hearing them in the bush :) https://wildambience.com/wildlife-sounds/australian-magpie/

That's amazing - this is what ours sound like - https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/bird-a-z/magpie/ a rattling sound

I never tire hearing their lovely song.

@shannejw WOW! they couldn't be more different could they? thanks for that link!

A lovely capture

[Merrelyn]

I love hearing Maggies carolling :)

Nice shot of the magpie.

Striking plumage, we have b&w magpies too but not like this

Lovely capture our Magpies just to seem to screech.

[Rick]

Yeah, they just screech around here also. Great shot.

My favourite bird ! So bossy !

[Helge Erik Storheim]

Like others have said, our magpies do not sing they just screech and "rattle" (especially if there are cats around :-)
