Pranksters. The magpies at our last house would sit on the fence posts and chatter at our dog until she lunged for them barking when they would fly off. Again and again and again. Drove her nuts and clearly amused them enormously.

Mm, very tasteful manipulation, a dreamy sort of focus on the bird basking in the light. Well done!
