I love it! The way the grass is splaying out in all directions and the determined expression in the magpie's face make for a very expressive photo. The subtle colors in the wings and tail are intriguing. We don't have such birds over here - I didn't realize they had this kind of color.

@stray_shooter Thanks from your great comments Ron, they are very common here about 18" beak to tail and quite noisey

Lovely capture Peter! Love the detail and how you caught it carrying materials for it's nest! Looks like baby magpies are on the way! x

@lilminimonka Thank you Brianna for your great comments, not sure if male or female both have the same markings
