Where will it end?!Just found out that the Eurasian Magpie has been split five ways, which has given me an armchair lifer with the Magpie I saw in Morocco in 2009. It has been renamed Maghreb Magpie (Pica mauritanica).
I get armchair Maghreb Magpie too :t:Just found out that the Eurasian Magpie has been split five ways, which has given me an armchair lifer with the Magpie I saw in Morocco in 2009. It has been renamed Maghreb Magpie (Pica mauritanica).

Yep, Black-rumped Magpie Pica bottanensis should be right :t:This is where it helps me not to be very good. So I take pics whenever I can because I can't ID on sight. I took a pic of a magpie in Bhutan assuming it was from a different species but where I could not tell the difference, only for the guides to suggest it was not a new species after all. But now it seems to have split again.
So I assume, given its location, that this is in fact not a Eurasian magpie, but a black-rumped one?

Great. Given that it was at a temple, and perching on the sacred flags, I think it was a bird of pray.
Did you give directions to a fella with a dog by any chance?Sabine’s gull. On a pool on the side of the Brecon Beacons. Not where you’re supposed to see them but I bet the views were better
