This week, on #SundayStills, hosted by Terri from Second Wind Leisure Perspectives, we are having fun with our #feathered pals, since I don’t have any #furred friends.
When I visited the UK in May, I noticed a few things – there was a lot of birds, there was a lot of statues, and there was a lot of birds standing on statues. This was one of them, standing on the statue outside of St. Giles Cathedral, which got quite a few tourists’ attention.
Another thing I noticed was fat pigeons. Lots and lots of fat, plump pigeons roaming the streets of England and Scotland like it’s their home turf. I don’t think I have ever seen chubby pigeons in the U.S.
Finally, I have been attempting for years to photograph this bird at home but each time I aimed a camera at them, they seem to be able to detect it and fly away. I at last got this picture in Edinburgh when this bird was standing so still that I could get a few shots of him. I love the color of its plume, the color is absolutely gorgeous, isn’t it?
This is Another Story 
The last pic looks like a magpie. Great shots.

Thank you. Is that what those are called? I see them all the time in my garden but never knew what they’re called.

I think it’s a magpie. I googled Great Tailed Grackle, it doesn’t look like it.
