One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl - well there were 3 magpies up at RSPB helping themselves to the bird food. A lot of people say they don't like magpies but I think they are actually very handsome and they are little characters really.
Beautiful shot. Most people don't like magpies because they take away other birds eggs, but besides that, I do like them too. Beautiful and bold too, the way they even dare to chase away cats...
I think they are handsome too. Unusual to find one perched on a branch? they are usually strutting around on the ground when I see them. This one looks like he or she is posing for you. Lovely shot.
