Busy, bold magpie

Busy, bold magpie

Another of the West Park magpies. This one landed perhaps four yards from where I was unpacking my camera, and immediately started rooted around in the undergrowth. It was aware I was there, occasionally glancing at me before carrying on fossicking among the fallen leaves.
