Incredible shots!
I've never seen a Magpie in real life, they are beautiful birds.

Thank you! They are really pretty, actually. There are tons of them where I live, and seems like I've kinda ignored them. I'll take some more, as their wing spread is very colorful.

A Pacific Wren I found a little outside its normal range on a hike this weekend. Sharp photos in deep brush are always satisfying to get.
(Side note: it seems silly I have to down sample my photos on a photo forum, this is a 50% resize)

Today: nice "group" (huh! at least 20-30 birds!) of Java Sparrow - from adults to juveniles in different maturity. The good thing - Northern Pintail (not because they are rare migrants here but I don't remember when I had the last opportunity to shoot from so close!). The first one is the Yellow-faced Canary...

Oh! And this one obviously didn't like me or most probably my equipment (I'm a good guy, my equipment is under question
)! What I can say it's very young bird (look at that dark bill!) and prone of strong fanboyizm
! Sorry, I forgot to ask what brand of camera it actually prefers!

They are my least favourite bird. They are everywhere, very smart and raid smaller birds nests for chicks.

Chapter two - Sunday. Very different habitat that I didn't visit in the last 3-4 years. The Bristle-thighed Curlew is what I was expecting there!
The surprise came from two pars of Lysan Albatrosses: I knew there is very small colony ~1-2 miles North but didn't know they are spreading South! Two pars in the preserved area (not sure if they can make a colony there: high grass and plenty of Mongoose!).
And the big surprise: Lysan Albatross in the very North side of a the golf course (the photo)! Long story - short: that locality is on the North end of a Community golf course and you can "trespass". When years ago I did check with the guys in the "office" if I can really go there they did say me " You can but be very careful - our golfers are not very good and you don't know from where the ball may come!
"! The area where that albatross is sitting is now surrounded by rope but with THAT() golfers (BTW very nice and polite folks!) I'm not sure it's a good idea from the albatross
! On other hand it would be great if the Albatross can make it!!!!
