Default This bloke can sell a cracker to a Magpie!

Yes, it's our own "Salesman" Bob whom I visited yesterday in his eyrie in the Adelaide Hills at Macclesfield.

This was the culmination of a visit to South Australia where I visited the new home of the Military Vehicle collection, as well as spending a night with it's newly elected president, Hugh Davis.

I'll post some more images soon.

Thanks Keefy
Actually that was a bad showing of birds, there are normally six at the same time and between mouthfulls of food they all warble somewhat loudly so you can't hear yourself think.

I'll trade you two magpies (Heckle & Jeckle?) for 30,000 crows.

Ship magpies air express,...I'll ship crows by slow boat to China.

Oh, BTW, do magpies have West Nile virus?...our bloody crows do! (Oops, guess the deal's off.)

I just think you're just waiting until you have a full muster of Four and Twenty crows so you can cram 'em into a pie!
