I was using the K-50 for macro shooting in my backyard when I saw this magpie on the neighbors TV antenna. Changed to 55-300 and these are the shots I got.

Hope you like them.

#3 for me Ben.

Your magpies look a lot different than my magpies. :-)

Nice shots.

Yes, this magpie is different also on my eyes. Is this a cross-breed?

Interesting.

Thank Ron.

Just checked on Google...Yes there seem to be a few species of magpies.

Though this bird was a young one not fully grown.

Thanks Nhelnhel.

This is the 'Australian Magpie'. I believe there are a few different species.

this particular one in the photo is a young one not fully grown.

The Australian magpie is not related to the Eurasian Magpie - other than the fact that they're both birds :-)>

Presumably early European settlers called the Australian bird a magpie because it's black and white.

Nice shots, by the way. That 55-300 certainly punches above its weight.

Cheers
