TAKE TWENTY THREE j

Wings on Wednesday -
YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious of photographing birds.

There are many collective nouns for groups of magpies, but perhaps the most common are a mischief, conventicle, congregation, charm and tribe of magpies. Like crows, magpies are sometimes referred to as a murder, and like owls, they’re sometimes referred to as a parliament.

  3. They are by any name you care to give them noisy, brash, charming individuals with character and personality. Would that our politicians had such attributes.
