That Magpie is different to what I'm used to. A very long tail.
Be interesting to see it in flight.
Beautiful thanks

Must be very similar to the European Magpie of which I saw many of recently in the UK.

Our local Antipodean Magpie is completely unrelated to the Northern Hemisphere one..... here is a young'un ( still has a lot of grey in the colouring ) from a few years ago having a snack. About time I took some more pictures of our local magpies....they can be as comical as they are common.

Comical! Pest more comes to mind  :p Don't they harass the population over there?
Actually are nice looking birds.

That is a great photo. Detailed. Mean looking streak about him, in the eye

Very nice photo with lovely detail. I saw lots of these when I was in NZ recently and was interested to learn that despite their looks they are not crows at all, but are related to the butcherbirds.

Bitterns are tough. I usually find them when I am not looking for them!

Any tips for "not looking" for them? :lol: I've never seen one, so am not sure how to go about finding them.
