A couple of bedraggled Magpies

It rained heavily for about an hour, after midday.
I was thinking of the poor birds having to sit in the nest with the rain drenching them.
When the rain eased a little, I went outside and there were two Magpies, under the verandah, hoping I would give them some food so they could warm up a little.

Some birds especially the small ones are unrecognizable when they are wet :grinning:

They sure are. A bedraggled Miner Bird came for a feed, it was so totally drenched.
The photos were blurry.

@Bretrick … don’t the soggy magpies look cute! They seem very tame and friendly or is it just that they know you well and trust you.

Soggy or not, these magpies are gorgeous specimens in black and white!
Almost like they never take off their tuxedos. :heart_eyes:
