They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Ha

Our two magpies sitting on our kitchen window sill and looking very threatening, like a pair of undertakers assistants who are just waiting for the moment when . . . . .

In case the significance of the title escapes you, have a listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnzHtm1jhL4

They do look rather formal standing there! Having a very serious conversation I'm sure.

[RachelMack]

Fantastic shot!

[Jane Anderson]

Terrific in black and white and silhouette!

[Lou Ann]

Great shot of these two. From what I’ve heard about Magpies you are most fortunate to only have two. Smile. Great bokeh too.

[Peter]

Stunning silhouettes against the light background works so well Terry, Fav:)

[Diana]

This is fabulous! What does Rhoda say about that ;-)

[Graham Harcombe]

I like this one. The silhouettes are just right and have a touch of humour in the pose.

[Helen Sanderson]

excellent

[Lesley Aldridge]

Just love this image, especially the white on their tails, a fav.

[Suzanne]

You have a very vivid imagination Poppo, I like that!!

@suzanne234 @countrylassie @hrs @ellida @ludwigsdiana @pcoulson @louannwarren @janeandcharlie @bella_ss @peonyrachel No one has commented on the song yet but then again I'd imagine that not many people would know it. Sort of appeals to my sense of humour. You couldn't get away with it these days. Have a listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnzHtm1jhL4

They look good in silhouette.

[Debbie]

The song was the first thing that came to mind... haha... and yep it does fit with image.

[Graham Harcombe]

Oh, I remember 'the Funny Farm'!!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

super ambiance!

[Poppo Livy]

@ludwigsdiana Rhoda here. We have had the same family, different generations of magpies for 40 years coming to be fed. They are just getting more adventurous now that there are no children to scare them. However Maggie and Vivi are arriving back on Tuesday and will be staying here until Mum and Dad find a house for them to purchase.

[Peter Grave]

nicely captured Terry.fav

[haskar]

Awesome shot!

[Karly]

Love this - great silhouettes! Fav.

[Connie Little]

Wonderful capture. Fav.

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh, Dear, they do look quite daunting....

[Pam G]

Awesome shot!

[Sheralee S]

Yes, I remember the song :)

[Jenfurj]

I think you hound start an undertakers business and call it " Two Crows Waiting"

[Ron]

Great shot Poppo! And the significance of the title did not escape me. I was fascinated by that "song" in my youth. I believe I still have the 45 in fact! Congrats on the TP and PP. Did Rachel take note? ;)

[Louise & Ken]

LOL! I'm "of the era" when that song was on the charts! I also remember visiting Sydney, and my friend would feed mince to the Maggies from her kitchen window! I was enchanted! I now have two crows that call out to me, and I let them know I have a handfull of peanuts for them; they now swoop down as soon as I start to walk away! The next time we're having a hamburger dinner, I'm setting some aside for them! It should make us even better friends!

[Denise Wood]

...to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time :) I'm back!!!

[Josie Gilbert]

Great shot. You could start a competition with that and ask people what they are saying to each other!
