This Magpie is different to the one we see in the UK, for one thing the Bill is much larger.
This is a good beautiful shot. With excellent detail on the Magpie it shows it has nice markings. It's stands out well too from the blurred background which has a lot going on there.
Well done.

This one looks to be a female. The males over here have a clean, bright white back, whereas the females have a grey back.

Nice low angle.

In hindsight, the focus seems to be a little bit closer to me. Wish I'd moved it back a little. Ah well, you live and learn.

The saturation looks a lot brighter than did at home too. Hope it's just this monitor as the one at home has seemed to be spot-on previously.

I was saying this to Sando earlier today actually. The magpies in Australia are larger in general than the UK ones as well and their tails are narrower from what I can tell. If it weren't for the white markings, I would think they were crows.

...and the crows here are HUGE will have to get a shot of one. They must be equal to the size of a Rook back home (in England). Will do my best to shoot one... then photograph it (sorry, couldnt resist!). Must try to get something next to it to show the size of them too.

It does seem to be a little over saturated to me. That grass is very green.

Other than that it's a very nice photo.
