Hungry Magpie

breakfast

I was eating breakfast on the veranda this sunday morning when the magpie flew in. Give me some bread he said, so I did. They live down at the spruce hedge, some 50 meters from my house. This one is very quick. Sits in a birch tree at the veranda and waits for me to throw him the bread. Nearly caught it in mid air!
