Do you know this could be called a "murder" of magpies? Hope they aren't planning one! Great shot John, and your paddocks looks as dry as ours :)

Great catch John. Lovely light.

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Wonderful detail.

[Poppo Livy]

Great capture John. So what is a group of Magpies called? A flock I guess. I know its a murder of crows (and for good reason)

[Gena Pegg]

Very cool shot...have never really seen magpies. Aren't they pretty vocal? What a great find.
