Best foot forward.

This magpie was purposefully marching through the meadow .

They are far more common now in East Anglia. I travelled 12 miles to work and back in the evening and never saw one once in over 30 years. Now I see them all the time. We even have buzzards and kites now. All over the country little egrets are now common. Next it will be cattle egrets and bee eaters..

Handsome fellow. We don't really see them around here, but I did once when I was out in BC.

Well captured Beryl, they're seldom still enough for me to catch!

He probably feels he's king of his territory. If he was hunting dinner, I hope he found something good.
