Weevil! In a slightly precarious position, because magpies are famously omnivorous and love insects – and not in the same way I love insects, either!

Another sticker sheet of mine is available in my ko-fi shop, this time featuring the mischievous black-billed magpie. 🪙 ✨ 🔑

I love this picture of a Magpie made with pebbles. It's part of one of the many public art installations in the Gorbals area of Glasgow.

We’ve been typically light on rain so I turned the sprinkler on and came back out to the local #magpie family enjoying themselves 😍 I do keep a container there for water so they are frequent visitors #gardening #australia
Finished! My new #painting is 'Magpies’ Treasure.'
There's gold & jewels (& other trinkets #Detectorists & #SmallProphets fans will recognise) but for the #birds the real treasure is those eggs.

But here's the shocker... studies show that magpies are NOT actually attracted to shiny things! They’re cautious around unfamiliar things. Their curiosity and intelligence may have inspired the myth, which lives on in folklore - and in my painting.
