Magpie on the hunt

It's been such a beautiful day today and I was lucky to get a shot of this magpie who was obviously looking round for a meal (usually a small bird). They are striking birds though and he was way up high in the tree so there's lots of branches around him but I thought I'd post him anyway. Thanks for everyones nice comments over the past few days and I am happy to say that my back is beginning to feel easier although I'm still dosing myself up with a load of painkillers but being careful as well. It got me out of the cleaning this week!
Nice capture against the limbs and sky. Great clarity and detail, Rosie!

Nice shot Rosie ....our magpies look a bit different to this- still b & w, just different patterns - painful way to get out of housework lol!!

I did not have any idea that magpies ate smaller birds- one never knows, do one... cool shot!

Good capture of this as they usually fly away; they do eat small birds, but I think grey squirrels are probably worse for that!
