[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In 1 year and a half of birds observation I saw many species chased by Magpies. The Magpies chase even raptors 3-5 times bigger then them.
But I saw only one species that kicks Magpies ass ... this one. And I was very happy seeing that is a species that is not afraid by them.
This species is very territorial. One time when I tried to make a few photos of a nest (10 meters from it) one of the two parents attacked me. And it didn't let me until I left.

Bonjour Anghel, great shot well composed and perfect timing too. I like this blurred BG and harmonious colors that feet well with bird. Best regards, Didier.

Marvellous capture, bird is so sharp, it looks great against the blurred background, note is interesting too.

Anghel,

Very cool in-flight. I like the background in this shot as usually in-flights are shot against the sky which is sometimes .. a bit plain. So, I think this overall setting works great here. Very nicely done. TFS.

Best Regards,

Martin
