MAGPIE

these beautiful birds live across the road from our house. They are busy looking for grubs in the grass. They have a wonderful warbling song but can be quite aggressive at nesting time. I have been dive bombed by one and thought someone had thrown a rock at the back of my head.

These magpies look a little bit different than the ones I see around! A wonderful capture and I have seen how aggressive these little buggers can be! :)

[Chris K]

@maddalena thanks for your suggestion Maddalena I will try that idea. I must admit I usually forget to try out black and white

[Chris K]

@naomima thankyou Naomi. The birds always seem to walk in the other direction or fly away when I point my camera at them
