Magpie acrobatics

[wigz]

I saw this magpie moving around in the outer foliage of a tree, hanging sidways and upside down. The background is a bit cluttered but it moved before I could get a better angle. I have no idea what it was doing.

Morning gymnastics? Nice shots.

Thanks

Yeah, they are great captures Alan. Good action and exposure is good too. A bit further back to avoid the wing chop in #1 would have been better though.

[wigz]

Thanks Isac. Yep, I wasn’t concerned with the wing chop as I was more interested in the behaviour. I don’t see either image as being good for much else.

[Isac]

Well you definitely caught the action so the wing chop is no big deal really

I dont know what it was doing either. nice action captured. eye visible in the 2nd pic makes it my favourite. good work

[wigz]

Thanks, it seemed quite odd.
