Lift off

This year, Bonnie and Clyde are a pair of cheeky magpies that come to my garden throughout the day to feed and make mischief. When I come downstairs in the morning, they will warble their hearts out in a lovely welcome. Here's Clyde preparing to take off.

 

The common name for these birds can be confusing. Australian magpies are not Corvids, but in fact belong to family Artamidae. They are more closely related to butcherbirds.

 

40 cm in length.
