On the outskirts of the park, which is located along the river, there is a place where many mountain ash grow. When the rowan berries ripen, you can always see various birds here. Especially after the first frost. The berries are filled with juice and become large and soft.
Thrushes come first. They sit on rowan branches and eat their berries with appetite. Then jackdaws and rooks appear. They are also not averse to eating delicious berries.
But one day I noticed a magpie on a mountain ash, which probably also decided to feast on delicious berries.
But unfortunately magpies are very shy. As soon as I began to approach closer than forty, I immediately hid and began to hide among the branches.
Apparently she didn't want me to notice her. I've never seen magpies on mountain ash before. Apparently this year the rowan berries were born very tasty. Therefore, the birds began to flock to the mountain ash.
The place is quiet. Not many people come. Therefore, no one bothers birds to feast on rowan berries.
Moreover, there is a river nearby and a lot of bushes grow, where birds can hide in case of danger.
However, the magpie apparently did not want to fly away and all the time tried to stay among the branches. I did not get close, although I really wanted to photograph this rare phenomenon, like a magpie feasting on rowan berries.
But nevertheless, it is a great success to see this magpie on a mountain ash. You can consider me very lucky.
These birds can be seen on rowan branches very infrequently.
I was very pleased with this success and added to my collection of bird photos.
