I see..:) thanks.:)
Thankvyou for your feed back!!
What I think I saw was an European Magpie which differs from the yellow billed magpie in that it does not have blue feathers.
What Blue? This magpie's feather is iridescent but don't have the blue color on the tip of its wings. The female of this bird has a metallic bluish grey forehead and throat.
Saw the pics from the link that one was a male Yellow-billed magpie. :)
unfortunately I did not have a camera. My daughter took a pic on her I phone,am waiting for her to e -mail it.
It was something similar to this spotting. But I did not notice any blue.
