I couldn't believe my luck

This magpie sat outside my house for a while this morning and I got some shots of him from my window. He stayed so long I decided to go outside and see whether I could get closer and catch a few before he moved. Lo and behold he sat on the fence unperturbed by me for a few minutes so managed to get a few close ups and this is the best. He was about 6 feet or so away. I'm so chuffed :)
