Magpie Lift-off!

Another little wander around the park this evening. Found a few members of the local wildlife including this magpie who was busy having a drink out of the water butt so I was able to get closer than usual. Extras show the magpie before take-off, a blackbird posing on a fence post and Nero who is a "Cornwall Park regular" according to his tag.
All photos were taken using a 33 year old Tamron 350mm f5.6 catadioptric lens which isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
