One for luck, two for joy

Me and my friend Josh went to the Sandwell Valley Nature Reserve today so he could try out his new zoom lens, and to hunt for blips. There were loads of different types of birds there, but unfortunately the hide by the island was closed so we couldn't get some mad close ups. I had some real competition for today's blip, but I have settled on this cheeky magpie that we saw towards the start of the visit. At some point I may get round to uploading other to Flickr so you can see them, but not right now.
