I was hoping for some osprey shots, but things were rather quiet, and the light was nice, so chased this maggie around instead. Had a bit to say about me taking his picture.

Great captures Tina .I take it this is an Australian Magpie? Looks like it has lots of attitude and character.

That guy certainly has some interesting looking plumage Tina, and your captures are very well executed to capture all of it very well.
BTW - I've never known a quiet magpie ;)

Excellent shots, Tina; he looks like he'd be tough bird to get close to.

Looks like an immature with the still lots of grey flicks in the feathers.

Great shots of one of my favorite birds with attitude!
