RE: Magpie - "Cracticus Tibicen" - Original Day Photography #113 by @bullionstackers
This is a first for me. I have never seen or heard of a Magpie. It is a huge bird and so pretty! Is the Magpie related to the penguin? Had to say that because it is black and white. Great shot of it drinking!
They are fairly big, about the size of a small hawk. They have very sharp beaks, and in spring attack anyone they don't know who approaches their nest.
Magpie attacks in Australia are common.
Very interesting; thanks for the info. Beware of the Magpie! : )
