G'day everyone, these are pictures of a young magpie foraging for food in my backyard. Each year a pair of adult magpies bring their offspring here to show it how to search for food. They love the compost heap, especially when someone is digging it up. It's much easier to get the fat, juicy grubs that way. I use a Panasonic digital camera, 5megapixels with image stabiliser function and up to 48x zoom. Sue
