Maggie the Magpie

We went to visit Ken and Tamara at Campbell Town the other day.  They have a pet magpie.


Maggie the Magpie


Maggie likes to eat.


Maggie likes a tummy rub.


Maggie likes a cup of tea ??  No not really.


Maggie likes to play with a drinking straw. 


Maggie likes to sit on your lap.


And to sit on your head.


Maggie is a lot of fun to visit.

Thank you Ken and Tamara.

I never get tired of this view.

We moved to Blackwall 16 years ago.  And I never get tired of the ever changing views from our front window. Beautiful afternoon sunset glow...
