Three came for water on my fence just now, a-warbling. Wonderful. A dull day, spitting rain during our walk.(sent from my Nokia)

I can imagine the song of the magpies, such a fantastic sound! 🙂

It is, isn’t it! I’ve been hearing it a lot, nearly every day on my walk.

Love the little fellows. Their warbling sounds so friendly, chatting away to their mates. The locals make sure they feed the maggies, therefore, no swooping birds pecking at your head. Today is very humid, lots of clouds around but I don’t think they are heavy enough to contain rain. Just the kind of weather to make you irritable.

One of the things which fascinates me is how magpies (and kookaburras and so many other bird species) differ slightly from state to state.

I had no idea there were differences with kookaburras, but it doesn’t surprise me at all!
