Cheeky Charlie

I just found this extraordinarily cheeky magpie. He was not at all afraid of hanging about. He just obligingly hopped from the ground to the top of the fence to make the angle better for me.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend.

That was certainly cheeky of him and so kind to pose for you like this. Lovely shot.

[Dione Giorgio]

You're lucky, Sue. He is there posing for you - wish something like that happened to me. And you captured him handsomely.

[Ann Stenson]

Certainly not camera shy then.

[Kerri]

Beautiful capture of this bird

[hettie]

stunning shot Sue!

[Jane Pittenger]

Wanted to make sure you got his best side!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Fantastic shot. He looks very haughty. Looks to me as if Australian magpies are a little different to UK ones xx

[Hudd]

Great capture, they look so aggressive!

[Caroline]

Wow- what an attitude. He's a bit scary. Great shot.

[Michelle]

amazing bokeh in the background

Love his attitude :) You've got some great bokeh too, goes really good with his tummy feathers.

[Wendy Bowden]

He is a beauty, beautiful focus

[EvaHenriette]

That's very good of him to do that for you. It looks like he's got eyebrows and looks very serious. Well done. and a great capture.

[Aleksandra]

Great shot! Love the stern expression!

[Lyn]

He's obviously interested in being a 365 fixture. . .posing so handsomely - love your title, as you've definitely captured that expression!

[Phil Howcroft]

i love the detail and framing sue

[Jane]

This is a superb shot.... such amazing detail and an instant fav for me ♥

[Kathy Burzynski]

Oh I wish they all would be so accommodating! Love the facial expression, looks kind of grumpy!

[kasey]

this bokeh is so beautiful

[Ann Jones]

Very obliging, to place himself in such a way that your background would have such beautiful bokeh! The Magpies in Wales are just cheeky!

[Jeff Walker]

wow!
