Very handsome birds, I used to see a lot of them when I lived in England. I would imagine that being black and white they are not easy to expose for but, as usual, you have done a good job on them.
Thanks for looking in Brenda I appreciate it.Glad you liked them. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Cheers Jim, we don't have any magpies here that I've seen; but we do have grackles and various types of black birds. They are pretty also but the colors on your magpies win out in that competition. Great shots Jim, I really enjoyed them. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Popularity isn't all it's cracked up to be. For example, ask any American turkey...
Great shots of course, and a beautiful bird. Great work!

Excellent shots. I know that getting the correct exposure on these birds is very difficult.

Nicely composed and very interesting bird! Permit me to suggest that these photos are 'under' exposed with total loss of detail in the blacks/shadows. I tried to recover in LR with no luck unfortunately. Another stop or two of exposure would've allowed you to open up the blacks on the bird to show what I'm sure is interesting feather detail that is missing.
