Been sooo long since I joined SMAP! I hope that in less than 2 months, I'll have added a ton of new bird photos to my portfolio - and hopefully, a alot of new species! But while that moment doesn't come... I guess magpies will deserve the spotlight!
I call them historial magpies because I've seen them during my visit to the Acropoles, in Athens. There were quite a few of them, hoppin around.
There are a lot of trees and green spaces near the monuments, so likely even more feeding opportunities, together with whatever is left behind by the tourists.
Being such an intelligent bird, they can probably discover quickly where best to hang out; or they also like the Acropolis view, like I did! They surely didn't looked that scared of humans, although some refused to get their photo taken and simply turned their backs.
To compensate, others were incredibly friendly. One of them allowed me to come as close as just a couple of meters.
And she looked curious; likely, waiting to see if any treat would come her way. So she simply stood there, watching the human snapping photos.
Unfortunately, Greece didn't provide that many birdwatching opportunities. Hoping the next vacations will be quite different, and will want to share the end result! ;)
