Description
In the past the magpie was a rare bird in the Irish countryside, and very seldom seen in large groups, this is no longer true - these beautiful birds are quite plentiful-From a distance the Magpie is a black and white crow with a long tail. The tail accounts for over half the total length of the bird and is an indication of the bird's status in its society.
The head, breast and back are black, the shoulders patches, belly and flanks are white. The black wings and tail, however, are a beautiful glossy, iridescent blue, green and purple. The bill and legs are black.n the spring, large numbers of Magpies often gather to resolve territorial conflicts and social standing. These gatherings, called parliaments, probably gave rise to the many nursery rhymes and poems about Magpies, such as:
One for sorrow, two for joy;
Three for a girl, four for a boy;
Five for silver, six for gold;
Seven for a secret, never to be told;
Eight for a wish, nine for a kiss;
Ten for a bird that's best to miss.

Great magpie here we have many where I live I have thought them perhaps an inspiration to art before so glad to see this done V/P:))

Like the looseness of the background and intense contract and rich color of the magpie.
