Magpie

Very nicely captured Steve, just the right angle to the light source to show up the wing sheen.

I don't like magpies very much, but they are really pretty and photogenic !!!!!!

Oh I love magpies, their feathers are incredibly colourful - not only black and white, but a beautiful irridescent blue. I have a few magpies in my garden - one pair I've named Stanley and Iris have their nest in my yew tree, but they cavort around the other trees in the spring. Wonderful to watch.
