A bit Slow
A Magpie on the hunt in our garden this morning
Having taken a couple of shots - Frames 1 & 2, a minute later I realised it was after one of our resident Slow Worms!
Frame 3 shows it taking a grab at the reptiles head and by Frame 4 the Magpie had already had it in it's beak........
However the prey wriggled like mad and along with me making a fuss, the perpetrator dropped it
- making a quick exit into the adjacent foliage ......and the Magpie flew off
Phew!
