Eurasian Magpie

Pica pica

Description:

The Eurasian Magpie, European Magpie, or Common Magpie, (Pica pica), is a resident breeding bird throughout Europe, much of Asia and northwest Africa. It is one of several birds in the crow family named as magpies, and belongs to the Holarctic radiation of "monochrome" magpies. In Europe, "Magpie" is used by English speakers as a synonym for the European Magpie; it is the only magpie in Europe outside the Iberian Peninsula.

Habitat:

Our garden in Münster, Germany.

Notes:

Finally a few Magpies are brave enough to visit our feeder. They are very shy, if you move too much, they fly away immediately.
