Pamela Moresby
Found at a Weymouth Park. He seemed to be eyeing me up
I was only going to take his photo.
It was OK he had his mate close by. There seems to be a pair at Weymouth

It looks like he’s being protective and not in the mood for photos, still a cutie though.
Thanks so much Tzwrites, you may be right…
Thanks Ghostwriter for your kind comments.
The Magpies don’t come that close to us….
It’s a beautiful bird but its view is a little scary ?
It is a beautiful bird they are OK if you are not near a nest.
Good for you, I never see these here. Striking birds.
Yes, these Magpies are from Australia…Thanks Carol
Another very beautiful bird, dear Pamela
Thanks Lado, glad you like it.
It’s a great pleasure, dear Pamela
Wonderful capture , thanks
Thanks so much Witty Feeds pleased you like it.
He does not know that this type of crows exists. By the way, she is beautiful.
The Magpie is a unique bird it is not a crow…but it likes to pick up shiny or unusual objects.
To tell you the truth Pamela, I do not think I have ever seen a magpie. We have a lot of crows here in Canada and ravens but magpies… I am not sure. I know that they are in the crow family but that is all I know. Crows are noisy enough so if we had magpies here on top of crows I think I would be going mad with all their noisy talk… This magpie in the picture is magnificent and regal looking even though he might have been eyeing you with some mistrust. I guess the saying “strength in numbers” applies here if he or she felt better having his or her mate not far away…
I did not know that the Magpie was from the crow family, we don’t have crows or ravens in New Zealand. The Magpie can be noisy.
Great picture and I am not a fan of magpies lol. I tried with all my might one year not to let them nest is a tree right next to my bedroom window. I found that everyone in the family and neighborhood enjoyed watching me fight a battle I couldn’t win. They are very loud birds!
