    That is so great. The magpie is looking at the sky and you're looking at the sky and the magpie.

  16. Australian Magpies are quite a bit bigger and noisier than those I remember from the UK. We have two who have called our house their territory.

  20. James They seem very territorial. There are quite a few in the trees over the road, but only ever two poking around and surveying our garden. Interesting and menacing birds. They are not much smaller than Spotty.
