Magpie (Fledgling)

Gymnorhina tibicen

I found this newly fledged magpie under some bushed.
Took a few pictures and then went away.
The adults are known to be very aggressive to anything that approaches their nests or babies.
I could hear them in the trees nearby .....

Amazing! We have tons of Magpies along our river, but I've never seen a chick or fledge. Nice capture!

Wonderful clarity of detail.
Very expressive bird, with a lot of determination, by the looks of it :)

Beautiful sharp image. I like the narrow depth of field. "V"

I bet it never stopped begging you for food the whole time you were there.
