Craning its neck to take in the tote bag intruder, this magpie is standing aside, almost with its back turned. We can see one foot partially lifted, in some kind of action, is it about to rest, sure that it is nothing to worry about, or poised like a cat ready to pounce. This bag is a tangle of Ciccada bodies, the true noise of a summer by the river, is the bird turned to hear the noise? Or is it shady side eye.
