    The Australian magpie's 3rd wheel

    Australian magpies show a lot of tolerance for noisy miners and I've often seen a single miner or a few, accompanying a magpie for no obvious reason. This noisy miner came between a mated pair (female in foreground, male in background). The magpies were foraging in the grass. The miner looked at...

    With the tide well out, there weren't many birds close enough for photography, so we started making our way back home. Another young Magpie was waiting to show us the way.

    I had a little wander round the houses in the early evening. The only bird I saw was this Australian Magpie. rather nicely lit by the sinking sun. I'm not too sure if this is a juvenile or immature magpie. You can tell it's young by the brownish plumage.

    In the morning, a juvenile Australian Magpie was sitting on the fence in deep shade - I've managed to lighten it a little.

    This was a rather friendly Australian Magpie, who used to come in on occasion and entertain June, who fed him in payment LOL. It was the only one she fed. This is one of the two the white-backed subspecies; I believe this one has more white than the other, but don't quote me on that LOL as I've...

    Braving the heat

    We eventually wound our way to the top of the hill where the war memorial is. Such a beautiful and peaceful setting. Little shade, though so very hot in the afternoon sun. An Australian Magpie seemed to be the only bird around, didn't see or hear anything else while up there.

    Alone

    Australian Magpies aren't related to corvids and they're quite alone as there's no other species in the genus Gymnorhina. That genus is now part of the woodswallow and butcherbird family of Artamidae; though it has been moved around somewhat in different families. Wonder if it'll get moved...

    The rain hadn't yet greened things up much, but this young Australian Magpie didn't seem to mind, think he was just relieved to have had some rain!

    An Australian Magpie was another species attracted to Hans' garden, here he is with one of the many Rainbow Lorikeets that visited too.

    Although there are several subspecies, Australian Magpie is the only species in the Genus Gymnorhina. We had moved onto the Eddie Santagiuliana Way park, a couple of miles from the bats, and found him on his own foraging in the grass.

    Despite the numbers of people at the top of Mount Coot-tha, this Australian Magpie seemed quite unfazed and wandered around their fee quite unfazed.
