A Eurasian magpie walks across a sandy, sunlit patch of ground. The bird’s dark silhouette is softened by the golden morning light and blurred grasses in the foreground.
The magpie stands on open ground, its black-and-white plumage and iridescent blue wing feathers catching the first light of dawn. Low green shrubs are in the background.
The magpie perches proudly on a rock surrounded by dry grass and purple wildflowers, looking upward against the clear morning sky.
The weathered wooden remains of an old boat lean on a grassy slope, sunlit in the early morning, with the pale blue sky behind.
I still call myself #birdnoticer not #birdwatcher, so even the “ordinary” magpie feels like a special encounter. 🌅
They’re not that common for me in Vienna, which makes this sighting all the nicer.
And yes – that really is an old boat wreck in the last 📸. Couldn’t resist sharing that too. #birds 🪶
