Pretty impressive! I love your writing style - and of course, since the first thing I read is about probably my favourite bird, the magpie, I was thrilled. Glad to see the photo, too. Hardly anyone takes good shots of magpies, yet they are stunning models. Only problem with your blog: it's another "must read" on my list of "must reads". Congrats, it's great.

Same thing goes for the magpie I would say. Gorgeous bird.

I used find myself saying: "Oh, it's just a snowy egret, just a ...! " When I realized what I was doing and that 10 years ago I'd never even seen one, let alone have the privilege of observing its antics, I gave myself a good scold. Thank you for an interesting post!
