Very cool flight shot ... excellent wing position and flight angle and techs look great! Nicely done!

[Marina Scarr]

Lovely wing position on this one, Joe. Lovely BG, nice catchlight and I like the wing position.

Like the blue showing , certainly a lot different than our Magpies over here. Nice timing with the wings, and sharp focus for sure. Backdrop is nicely uniform, I might consider cropping a little more from the bottom

Great shot.
I really like the wing position,great background and comp.
Well done.

Well caught Joe - good timing, very good detail in the darker plumage. I would place the bird a fraction lower in the frame, the background is unobtrusive and contrasts well with the subject.

Thank you all for commenting, much appreciated.

Yes Phil, they are a lot different than the Australian Magpie, these are just a bit bigger than the Magpie-lark/Peewee.
