„Magpies Keeping Watch, Pendennis Point“

from the gallery of Rod Johnson
Description:

Two common magpies (Pica pica), keeping watch at Pendennis Point, Falmouth in Cornwall, England. The two birds were using an information board, entitled "Watching the Waterline", as a perch. I saw them return to this board many times.

The Point is favourite spot for locals and visitors to watch ships and boats and the birds were watching for any food particles being dropped by the people.

Thank you Irmi.
I was lucky with this one, it was a planned shot, but fortunately the birds were used to being around people. Normally, magpies will fly away as soon as I point a camera at them, even when I'm a long way off.
Best wishes,
Rod
