Young magpie explores
Bravely sidesteps fierce dragons
Shadowy black suit

Sweet Repose said...: What a mischevous young bird, true to it's species, can't wait to get the bird shots this spring, as the sun peaks through a pretty hefty thunderstorm this morning...signs of coming attractions...SPRING!

Hope your summer is recovering from the fires and bringing back the beauty of your Mornington Peninsula!

Have a wonderful Sunday friend and bunches of bear hugs!!!

Hey Harriet said...: Hehe...that's cute. I'm wondering if he is the same maggie that posed for you a couple of posts back. If so, I think he fancies being the centre of attention. I like the colours of the young maggies :); March 8, 2009 12:41 PM
