Fly Free

A young Magpie we released on grounds to join a local group of wild birds.
We didn't rehab him, he was rehabbed and transferred to us for release, we housed him and support fed him until he started finding his own food and vanished into the flock of locals.

The first time I saw him with his own beetle I smiled and wished I had a camera.

I took this photo about a year ago. It was honestly a lucky shot.
