Talk about a feast fit for a juvenile magpie! This mischievous bird has stumbled upon quite the unusual meal in Norfolk, England. Posing proudly next to a European Rabbit carcass, it seems this young magpie has found its own version of fast food. But hold on, there's more to this story than meets the eye. You see, this rabbit sadly met its demise due to myxomatosis, making it an unexpected buffet for our feathered friend. It's nature's way of recycling and providing sustenance for those who dare venture into the wild. In the picturesque countryside of East Anglia, where rabbits roam freely and magpies rule the skies, our little scavenger takes full advantage of this rare opportunity. With summer in full swing and plenty of sunshine to go around, why not indulge in some carrion cuisine? As one of Britain's most common corvids, these intelligent birds are known for their resourcefulness and adaptability. And what better way to showcase their skills than by feasting on fresh (or not-so-fresh) rabbit meat? Who needs takeout when you have your very own gourmet meal waiting right outside your nest? So here we have it: a snapshot capturing both the beauty and brutality of nature. A moment frozen in time that reminds us just how fascinating wildlife can be – even if it involves dining on rather unconventional delicacies.
