Magpie attacks on humans are common here at this time of year with one resulting in a fatality just recently. This one however which lives in a huge gum tree just off my property cannot bear to see any type of bird in my garden and will attack at any time of the year...  2  3  4  5  6  7

What a spectacle in your garden!
#4 is a great moment and those last three last shots show an attack in full glory!

And just a reminder: Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) is not closely related to the (Eurasian) magpie (Pica pica) despite somewhat similar colours in the plumage...

Thanks Fred and @MinoltaMad. Just as a footnote I saw on last nights news that two magpies had become so aggressive that they were going to be culled....

Hen harrier (Circus cyaneus)
 α7R IV + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS + 1.4× TC @ 840 mm, f/9, 1/320 s, ISO 160 As you see from the above, I accidentally had tuned the shutter speed to be tad too slow since before mounting the long tele (+ teleconverter) I had been testing my latest lens acquisition and the shutter speed was for that quite appropriate, but sadly with a long telephoto and a moving subject it was not quite right, although few shot like this one ended to be acceptable. And guess when I noticed this mishap? Right after I had been photographing this for this bird for several minutes and it had disappeared. |

Wow Wang.
Particularly the first one ‘taking a turn’ in very impressive. And I always like it when smaller birds attack birds of prey to protect their family. |

 Be yourself; everyone else is already taken
