Still quietly observing

how did you manage to get up so close and personal to that bird? great shot!

Baino said...

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*!*

"Now what is that strange thing looking at me?" :-)

jodi said...

Brilliant photo! Did I read right above... that's an Australian magpie? I guess they don't just sound different then...

laughingwolf said...

canuck magpies, related to yankee ones, are just as loud as those in oz! ;)

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 ;)

How beautiful. I miss my maggies. They don't often come to visit these days. Flute bird - what a perfect name.
