Very considerate of Maggie to wait until she's asked rather than dive-bombing your table! Pretty markings! #1537955

I suppose those are common birds where you are, but seem so exotic to us. :-) Nice work on this, John! #10782951

Great capture John. Great clarity and depth of field. Our magpies are hardly that polite here, in fact we steer well clear of them if we hear or see them. #10783327
