  2. I've got two visiting my garden. They can certainly make a noise!

  4. What a treat! Too bad he didn't stay around for a couple of poses.

    Gembala Kerbau and crows are more common around here.. I have seen a couple of magpies hovering around. They are a bit quick, stay just for a short while and off they go. That particular magpie stayed just long enough for me to rush for the camera and snap. Just for a pose, not a single more... haha.

    They are so noisy ... but nice to hear especially early in the morning... A persistent wake up call!!


    Have a good weekend,

  7. I enjoy seeing magpies. Around here they clean up road kill.

    Magpies cleaning up road kill? Over here only crows will do that. Crows in fact will clean up almost anything....

    Garden girl, I guess I was a little bit lucky, snapping just in time.

  10. > FJL..,
    I hid behind the window curtain. I just squeezed the camera lense through a gap to shoot. Otherwise I could not get even a snap. This bird will definitely fly away on slightest sound.
