Love the maggie. Found a maggies nest yesterday on my "1 hour covid walk". Was feeding chicks so I will be going back a lot more. The nest is a good 70 feet high giving no chance of chick pictures until they start flying. Mum wasn't concerned at all. While she was on the ground getting worms, I managed to get within 5 metres of her.

Next shot of the Magpie was actually getting a worm, but did not post originally as it does not have any light on the head and eye.

There was also a Grey Currawong that was scrounging food from the ground that some thoughtless people had left amongst the rest of their rubbish.
