Magpie in Flight--Doubled!

Just after noon today two magpies appeared on the roofs opposite our Paris 13e apartment, at medium distance.  They poked around feeding for a bit, and then one flew off to the right. I knew the second one might follow on the same path, and sure enough he did. I got a half-dozen fairly sharp continuous shots, and these are the two best (the second below).  Great fun!  This image shows the roofs--the magpies flew to the right from the group of chimneys just below the broadest tall building in the background (middle left).

For the fun of it, the extra shows my first capture, uncropped--I'm using the Canon EOS 5DSR, with the 100-400 II zoom lens--deadly for flight shots and  good leeway to crop close.
