Wendi Kruger, Magpie Moments (Wildlife and Animal 2017)

In October this year I heard a baby magpie calling outside. The chick would start chirping and flapping wings when he/she saw the parent coming with food, at which time I started shooting and captured the parent’s moves and moments of connection with the chick, until the parent left again to get more food, leaving the chick alone.
