All Fluffed Up

This Magpie was fluffing up his feathers in an aggressive display to another Magpie doing the same thing in our Cherry tree.

Oh my! I guess he was trying to look bigger! Great capture!

[Ron]

Wow, I didn't realize they had such beautiful colour in their plumage! Nicely captured, sir.

[Louise & Ken]

Whoa! Preparing for a serious territorial challenge!

[Babs]

I had forgotten that UK magpies had blue feathers too. Ours are just black and white.

[Diana]

Stunning capture and wonderful plumage details.

@Weezilou Many thanks for your comment and Fav Louise, yes indeed there was another Magpie but I could not get both in the same shot:)

@onewing Thank you Babs like Starlings you don't notice how colourful they are unless you get in close:)

@ludwigsdiana Thanks for both your comment and Fav Diana, I thought it looked very scruffy like this:)
