Eurasian Magpie (Pica pica)

Since the tree outside my window was cut back, it has proved a popular perch for several species, including Carrion Crow, Woodpigeon and a Robin recently, as well as Magpies. Although this bird doesn't look too pleased about being expected to pose for photos.

Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding!

A super, frontal view of this Magpie John and a terrific capture buddy.

He may be fast on the take-off, but you were faster with the shutter button ... if only barely :)
