Bright Eyed Magpie ~

I watched this Magpie for some time & his right foot seems to be held up as if injured.?

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely shot

[KoalaGardens🐨]

he looks fat and healthy, so hopefully all is ok

[Maggiemae]

Oh,thats sad - nothing you can do though unless you want to catch him and send him off to a bird sanctuary!

[Anne Pancella]

Sometimes birds pull up one leg to stay warm. Was it cool out?

[Valerie Chesney]

@annepann Yes, Anne, it was cold & 7.15am.....thank you!

[Babs]

They very often stand on one leg, so maybe he is just giving one leg a rest.

[Jane Morley]

Hopefully he as OK. Good capture.

[sally agnew]

Lovely lighting Valerie :)

[Myrna O'Hara]

Or maybe he was just practicing his balance like i do sometimes.

[Jodie]
