Where will it end?!
The only prob is that for every new species you can tick there are more that you haven't seen (in my case, anyway). Azure-winged magpie has also been split.

I get armchair Maghreb Magpie too :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?

Yep, Black-rumped Magpie Pica bottanensis should be right :t:
Great. Given that it was at a temple, and perching on the sacred flags, I think it was a bird of pray.

We're just back from a trip to SW Australia, where I ticked 116 new birds. The last was a Brown Falcon, Attached.
My 3000th lifer was Yellow-billed Spoonbill. I failed to photograph them as we drove by on the freeway south of Perth, but later I managed photos near Albany.
Good birding,
Jeff
