Skulker (Pica pica)

No, not me. The Magpie. They're such scaredy-cats. All I have to do is stand up at my office (aka guest room) window, and off they go. Very hard to get close-ups of them here in the garden. This guy must have thought he was safely hidden in the shrub.

I love these guys and this is one well focused image of this Magpie Ann!
 
glad I'm not the only one struggling with these big shy birds, Ann, great photo though, many tfs!!!
 
You did well to focus through the twigs, Ann, and yes, I am sure he thought you couldn't see him!

Lol, he looks as if he is convinced he is hidden! Love the eye shine framed by the branches. TFS Doc!
