  1. BOB COUCOU et bien tu sais c'est la pie que je viens de louper il y a 5 minutes
    si si j'en suis certaine et elle a été rapide je trouve car elle est déjà chez toi
    De très belles photos pourtant tu sais je n'aime pas les pies mais en photo c'est tellement beaux Par contre si tu y arrives en plein vol tu me le dis car avec ces couleurs elle serait si belle aussi
    Je te souhaite de passer de belles fêtes et un beau NOEL AUSSI
    Merci BOB

  18. Gorgeous images, Bob! I just read that the European Magpie recognizes itself in a mirror, one of a very small group of animals who can do so, a sign of self-awareness. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
