Description
This was prompted by Aled's(ajaysart) upload for today. This shot was taken through my kitchen window, the magpie had been having a splash in the bird bath that I have made. The magpies are the only birds that use it as its a little bit deep for the sparrows. Anyhow he had his/her splash and then hopped on to the fence to do some preening.
Thanks for stopping by and for any comments you care to make.
May the sun shine down on you, where ever you are.

I love these types of bird (are they classed as corvine??) I used to have a couple of tame crows who were absolutely super birds with great personalities!! I have an Indian Mynah now, it talks up a storm, shouting "Quiet, Quiet" at the dogs >LOL

Great shot! I just love magpies, except when they eat other folks babies later in the season.

A wonderful shot, dear Jeff. We rarely see magpies in the countryside here. I wonder why they like larger places better. Sunny hugs for you, dear friend. Diane. xx

Magpies are the best of the common birds around here. They are well built, sturdy and very capable. But seen like this, you gotta laugh at them. I wonder if he'd like a blow dryer for his birthday. :-)
