Colourful Magpie (Pica pica)

I see these guys so rarely, I forget they're not really black and white!!! This angle picked up some rather pretty iridescence I thought.

Nice image Delia. They're abundant where I am, and the colours can be really startling when the light falls at the right angle.

Great low camera angle taken in beautiful lighting showing fabulous eye contact, iridescense, and color. Excellent D!
