Black-billed Magpie

A very common bird in the UK, but the stunning iridescence is brilliantly caught in this photo, nice one

Hopefully landing is close enough to "in flight" to qualify for this thread!

Yes, I'm guessing the conditions were perhaps dull as I normally get an effect more like an oily film from them when I've taken one. This shows they do have some real gloss!

Thank you TheJock, they are quite common in my area also.

fragilesi it was full overcast which lent itself quite nicely to getting the non-oily look. I agree they have an oily look in full sunlight.

Thanks, though as I explained before he is the perfect model and hovers within a few yards of me (well he used to) so it wasn't so hard to get shots of him. I really hope the terns come back this year. I need to check.

Dylan 777 - it's mating time for the Canada Geese. They are flying somewhere to Do the Deed. Darn birds are louder at it than the next door neighbors in the apartment block.
