Magpie Mayhem - a serious squabble over territorial boundaries - a hurried shot through the window..

Australia

Six Magpies that I feed every morning fighting with another 4 over the boundary lines. They get really vicious. Three of my morning group are approaching 4 years of age another is approaching 2 years. Be interesting to see what happens in the coming season of Spring, will the older ones leave or will they stay with the family. They can live to 18 years.

Terrific action capture, Bea. It is so fascinating to watch the "community" interactions. Well shot.

Looks like there bit of gang there. Worse than the Rooks in my Garden.

Great action capture, Bea. Can almost hear their bickering!

Fantastic catch of the action Bea. They seem to have the same temperament as our magpies here.
