The Magpie, a Cup of Tea, and a Bible

Magpies are inquisitive and unafraid. Charismatic carollers whose wonderful warbles make them one of my favourite birds. Magpies love a tasty morsel of meat. But I didn't have any to offer this fellow who'd landed on my camping table. But he hung around anyway. 🙂 "Hello there magpie, what are you up to?" (yes, I …

Storms are a common occurrence as the weather heats up here in South East Queensland. In summers past we've had storms blow through hitting hard and fast …
