p.1 #1 · Magpie Portrait


Australian Magpie - Gymnorhina tibicen.

A very common bird and hence it gets ignored a bit. It has the most beautiful, melodious, liquid call.



D7000 300mm f/4 AF-S x1.4TC. 1/1250 f5.6 800 SO -2/3ev

A bit plain. Black and white but a real favourite of mine.
They are very intelligent and they remember human faces (Yes< There is research to back this up). They will adopt people who feed them and ferociously attack (Esp at nesting time) by diving and pecking as they swoop by those who give them a bad time.
Thanks Alan. Just keep them coming.

Common yes, but I have been trying to get a photo of these guys for a while now. They don't stop for a second. As soon a I point the camera at them they are gone.

Nicely done Alan.

Great portrait, Alan. Our Magpies are a lot more attractive, but we only get them in the more northern parts of British Columbia.
