still quite stylish, even as a juvie! :)
ReplyDeleteCool photos of the Magpie Carole but the video is really great!! I love to see birds in action!
ReplyDeleteSeason's Greetings and lovely photos of the juvenile Maggie. They are fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and yours!!!
ReplyDeleteHe seems an awfully big bird to still be relying on his parents...
I love your crystal sharp pics of the magpie. The video is great too. I have 2 maggies in my garden every morning and afternoon snacking on the insects. Must capture them soon, but I doubt that I can get them as sharp as yours.
ReplyDeleteMagpies always seem such curious birds.
ReplyDeleteTha magpie is a very striking bird Carole especially shaking off the water after a bathe. Love the video, the soundtrack is wonderful with that exotic, tropical song in the background.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds you have photographed, Carole.
ReplyDeleteThe video is really quite amazing.
I wish you a very happy second Christmas day.
Greetings Irma
This could be my back garden - same birds! (but a different fence!)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good Christmas.
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

Carole, wonderful post on the Magpie! Your photos and the video are great.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the Magpies, Carole. Your video is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteObviously he doesn't want to leave the nest ( so to speak) and why not when he's got Mum & Dad dancing to his beat .... clever magpie.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos and video. Happy New Year. xo Jenny
ReplyDeleteNice pictures you show.
ReplyDeleteWish you a good second Christmas Day :) Hanne Bente
...cool birds! The magpie is big. I didn't realize they were that big. Love the song in the background of the butcher bird.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Great photos of the magpie and I love watching the birds taking their baths!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots Carole! Hope your christmas was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteyour magpie is rather different from ours. Love this juvie. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful youngster!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely treat! Thank you Carole and birds!!!
ReplyDeletePaper Hugs,
Jan
Very nice! Good photos, and I LOVE the video: to see the birds in action and hear their songs is a real treat.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I cannot get video to work from my laptop...but the images are wonderful! Happy New year~
