Magpie.... In The Sky.... Flying High
For ages I've been trying to get a picture of a Magpie. Very hard to get because of their colour and them being so jumpy at every movement.
Then yesterday while in the garden I get the 1st picture I've managed of a recognisable one, and it's in flight.

Very good - magpies are not at all easy to get shots of, as I have recently discovered, since an artist friend of mine asked me to get some shots for him for his artwork! Have I managed any? About 4 or 5 - but not at all easy!

Thank you Cakey and Z. I have found the moment they see movement they're off.
