Skata - Pica pica - Magpie

This magpie was quite interesting. It landed on the roof top and then flew down to land on a place it obviously knew about. I never heard of this bird hiding food for winter but this one knew exactly that it would find something to eat at this spot.

Magpie gathering

On New Years Eve a lot of Magpies were gathering in the tree outside my window. Maybe the warm weather made them believe it was breeding time already. I have noticed they come together like this in the beginning of a new year.

A magpie waiting, in the cold, outside my window, for me to leave so it can steal the food from the tits. The magpie is a big bird and I can´t feed them too on my balcony.

The Magpie is a really hard one. I see it daily. It is everywhere, and yet it has been comletely frustrating to get a decent flying pic of it. But the other day there were about 20 birds together flying around in whatever business they have. That day they were flying directly above my head and finally I got those shots. When you get them from the side they look like darts and no fun at all.

A newcommer at the lake today was the Tufted Duck, a single male had found the way here. I also spotted a Grey Heron. Also the first this season. But it was too far away to get a shot and heading behind trees.
