j j m 6,480 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 woke up this morning to the sound of magpies in the back garden at causeway,i always leave the bedroom window open just enough to get the barrel through so not to spook them when opening the window,first one was at the bottom mews seeing if there was any food lying around but it kept moving its head up and down so I could not take a head shot,so I went for a heart shot and took it out,then the heavens opened birds screaming everywhere,it amazes me when you shoot a magpie how quickly the crows appear,they all sat up in the conifers I just waited my time till another magie landed to check its falling mate out I got this one with a head shot,all in all I'm well pleased with the excaliber k in 22 its nice and light and with the small rhino scope on its lovely to shoot 9 Quote Link to post

I've no idea what it was but, it was a beautiful looking bird and, I was pleased that I got to see it. 1 Quote Link to post
