Philip, I love the colorful birds that you see in your part of the world! I had no idea that Magpies built such large nests. That Bullfinch sure has pretty colors and I truly love the Blue Tits; that sure is a pretty background with the bright red of the plant behind the feeder!
I'm going out to run some errands in a short while and I plan to take my camera with me this time! We have lots of Osprey nests around town and last week when I was out shopping at a Walmart store, I was walking back to my car and glanced towards a tree where I knew there was a huge Osprey nest. A beautiful Osprey was perched on a branch above the nest; it looked as if it were posing and it would have been such a nice photo. I wish I'd taken my camera with me; I didn't have my mobile phone with me either and it takes decent pictures but I use my phone so little that most of the time I forget to take it when I leave the house.
