Young magpies by boating lake shore, West Park

Young magpie by boating lake shore, West Park

Pair of young magpies on the stonework at the edge of West Park’s boating lake just after they had taken a dip in the water, leaving one with very dishevelled feathers.

These birds can be recognised as young by their relatively short tails, or by the way they don’t yet seem to have learned to be wary enough of humans.
