Hi all... Lorne here...

I was surprised to find a MAGPIE out the front of my house the other
day, immitating the calls of Noisy Miners, Satin Bowerbird, Currawong
and Grey Butcherbird!!!!!! I've NEVER heard a magpie mimic other birds
before! Two of my field guides say they do this though! 

MERRY XMAS,

LGJ.

Santa's little birder!!!!!!
