Aww. Nice shots. I have 2 families again this autumn. Noisy chicks that drive the dog crazy. I was on Skype talking to an American friend the other day and he's "What's that noise?" Apparently their magpies are less vocal.
Krissie - there's always at least one bird sticking close keeping an eye on whatever I'm up to plus it helps to have a telephoto lens for me to watch them watching me ;)
Baino - haha I was watching our youngest magpie this morning who is quite capable of feeding itself acting the baby and demanding to be fed by one of it's parents because his elder sibling had flown too close to the meat I'd put out for them*!*
Caterpillar beetle caterpillar beetle I'd rather have a lump of steak *!*
Hg I think he was lost in a little wishful dreaming ;)
Jodie - yes I think the European ones are a little chunkier might be a tad taller too ? - I guess they don't need so many feathers out here ;) their warble is gorgeous. In early settlement days they were known as flute bird*!*
Wolfie - must be something to do with both countries open spaces, they gotta be loud to be heard ;)
You'll find me nestled amongst tall Gum and flowering Banksia trees. Bimbimbie, an aboriginal name means place of many birds.
A place where I can be still, watch, wonder and imagine as light and shadow play together ...

"Now what is that strange thing looking at me?" :-)
Brilliant photo! Did I read right above... that's an Australian magpie? I guess they don't just sound different then...
canuck magpies, related to yankee ones, are just as loud as those in oz! ;)
