Magpie (Pica pica)

A new visitor to my garden this year. He is picking up scraps and taking them over to the bird bath, wetting them and then flying off. Maybe they are for his partner or youngsters ?

Great capture, Carole. Most of the Corvids seem to wash/wet their food; although I only see the Crows and Magpies do it, never the Jays

What a beautiful image of this Magpie Carole! Nicely captured girl.
 
What a well detailed behavioural shot, Carole. Interesting narrative, too.

What a brilliant close-up of this beautiful Magpie drinking with water dripping from the tip of its bill. Fabulous work Carann!!!!
