Dear Members and Bird Watchers!
Just back home from another training with my new camera in Rama IX Park and I have never seen so many magpies before, even more than the Mynas. Anyway, I walk along the tracks minding my own business and taking pictures.
I run the eBird app and I register the birds as I see them and the bird on the attached picture was registered as a female magpie on routine.
Back home to check my picture and I see the yellow gape. And I learned from birdforum member Butty that this means that it is a young bird.
And the bird is blue on the back, is it possible to sex this bird? And to say how old the bird is? For me it looks like the yellow gape is about to disappear.
I guess it will be a male because of the blue on the back.
And I think this must be the first broad as all the magpies were looking to flirt with each other today, so I guess they are going for a second broad.
Any thoughts about the magpie on the attached picture?
Kind Regards and happy birding
