Hi Linda! I observed the courtship of two magpies on my balcony rail, bird bath and berry vine pergola which actually mated there. So sexing them was 100% accurate after that.


'Maggie' is on the left. The male is to the right and has a thicker chest, larger black 'bib' and weighs more.

Hey CL, aww thanks for stopping in and having a look

Another bright but cold morning at the Haugh

You really ought to clean your lens, Linda, I see another couple of tiny specs

Love the Grebes, and looks like your geese are a-coming

Very beautiful shots Linda!
I'm glad that chick is finally taking the fish from its mum! The little bird in Photo 7 is cute; what is it?

Hmmm perhaps the tiny specs are actually on your specs PB

Little grebes are always a pleasure to watch ...geese were heading doon the park so probably laughing at me

Thanks Charles, several little grebes around but could be the same ones. The bird in question is a chiffchaff
