Oh, a football field invasion, without noting 100 goals kicked by a player in his career.
Warbling magpies are so delightful to wake to, as you can hear in this clip by Kye Hammo.

I delight in the magpie warble which we hear each day at home. It was one of the things I badly missed while in hospital.
ReplyDeleteEC, apparently they are saying rather a lot to each other as they warble away.
DeleteOh. Our magpies don't warble. They cackle like the witches of Endor.
ReplyDeleteOur magpies are similar to yours in name only. Ok, I will Google witches of Endor. Right, something biblical.
DeleteI hear the magpie every morning
ReplyDeleteYour certainly would in the country, Roentare.
DeleteWe have kookaburras hanging about at the moment, maggies on the front lawn unafraid of anyone and yesterday while walking Aggie, white cockatoos having a munch, some of them are huge…Love this time of year as flowering trees wake up. Did you have your footy shorts on Andrew in case a sub was needed?
ReplyDeleteI came across a very unafraid magpie a couple of days ago. I can't remember where, but I was surprised. My footy shorts are Capper style, so best I not wear them in public now.
DeleteUnique sound.
ReplyDeleteYes, Kirk. Not quite unique, just unique.
DeleteHow sweet, Andrew. I had never heard this before. Thank you 😊 so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it Linda.
DeleteThe emus on the football field was hilarious. Magpie warbles are pretty.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I wish the video was better, but it is still funny. Gosh did one run fast.
DeleteLove the magpies and often hear them in the mornings. Ostriches on the footy oval or llamas? I couldn't quite make them out.
ReplyDeleteRiver if you have open lawns, especially well watered, they are very attractive to magpies. They are emus. We don't have wild ostriches here.
Deletelol, Those emus. Love the whistle of the magpie, Andew. Good videos.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, the magpies are such a nice sound to wake to, unlike the squawk of wattle birds.
DeleteI love magpies and when my cousin from New Zealand was upset with the "racket" from kookas, I was personally offended!
ReplyDeleteKylie, your cousin needs to go to a 're-education' camp.
DeleteThe emus are amazing - probably terrified. I love the warbling magpie - what a beautiful, musical call.
ReplyDeleteJB, it is a wonderful sound when there is a couple of them warbling as you wake in the morning. They aren't annoyingly loud.
DeleteBird song can be beautiful, my favourite, is the curlew on the moors.
ReplyDeleteThelma, we have curlews here but I think they are different to yours. The sounds from ours are not particularly pretty.
DeleteI have never heard a magpie make a sound like that. Ours seem much more screechy.
ReplyDeleteSteve, the sound is a bit loud when they are close by, but waking up to them in the morning is lovely.
DeleteThat video is just the best, I love it so much. Magpies have such a beautiful song, it's so nice to wake up to. It's funny to imagine them taking over a football field like that, they seem to be having a grand time. It's so lovely to see birds just being themselves in the middle of all our human activities.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know magpie sounds are so wonderful. I love them!
ReplyDeleteEven better Strayer is when you have a couple of them and they warble away at each other. Thanks.
