The attached shot of Common Magpies Pica pica was taken from my south London window on 2 May 2018. Thought I had a nice enough "behavioural" image, but closer inspection suggests something wrong with the eyes, more so on the further bird, and the latter appears to have a growth at the bill base: is this avian pox, or some other disease?
From memory, after this I saw both birds again occasionally, but successful breeding seems unlikely.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
