This is the Iberian Magpie (Cyanopica cooki)*, also duped as the Azure-blue winged Magpie. it is only really found nesting in central Spain or northern Portugal (in Europe). but also can be found in many areas of east and central Asia, such as Korea.

* The asian variant of the Azure winged magpie has a different scientific name, 'Cyanopica cyanus'

* In Portugal, the bird can also be called 'Pega-Azul', but was corrected to 'Charneco',

You cannot tell from a distance, or even up close if this Magpie is male or female, and would require a specialist.

This species, much like other Magpie species, is not able to be mistaken due to its uncommon feather coloring and patterns.

The azure-winged magpie (Cyanopica cyanus) is a bird in the crow family. It is 12-14 inches long and similar in overall shape to the Eurasian magpie but is more slender with proportionately smaller legs and bill. 

It has a glossy black top to the head and a white throat. The underparts and the back are a light grey-fawn in colour with the wings and the feathers of the long tail an azure blue.The voice is a quick fired and metallic sounding kwink-kwink-kwink usually preceded by a single krarrah.

It occurs over a large region of eastern Asia in most of China, Korea, Japan, and north into Mongolia and southern Siberia. It inhabits various types of coniferous and broadleaf forest, including parks and gardens in the eastern populations.

Often azure-winged magpies find food as a family group or several groups making flocks of up to 70 birds. The largest groups congregate after the breeding season and throughout the winter months. Their diet consists mainly of acorns (and pine nuts, extensively supplemented by invertebrates and their larvae, soft fruits and berries, and also human-provided scraps in parks and towns.

This species usually nests in loose, open colonies with a single nest in each tree. There are usually 6–8 eggs that are incubated for 15 days. Azure-winged magpies that have asynchronous broods, creating a size hierarchy among nestlings, produce more eggs and fledge more nestlings than those with have synchronous broods.

Every now and then I enjoy to paint birds ♥ And since there was a Corvidae-themed ACEO event, it was the perfect opportunity to practice painting those feathered beauties :3

Korean Birds - 물까치/Cyanopica cyanus

English common name: Azure-winged magpie

These magpies are very beautiful, with typical magpie calls. They can be found in most of China, Korea, Japan, parts of Mongolia, and Siberia. Most live in coniferous forests, but they do live in parks with the appropriate trees in the eastern part of their range. They tend to work together as a flock, eating mostly pine nuts and acorns. They supplement this with larvae and other insects, berries, and what fruit they can find. 

Their heads are black, with a white triangle at their throat. Most of their body is a soft gray, with wings and tail the azure color their English name comes from. 

Their Korean name literally means “water magpie”, likely due to the same azure that gave them their English name. They are without a doubt one of my favourite birds, and it’s always a delight to see members of a flock swooping along the water.

It looks like a bulbul is yelling at azure-winged magpies :

"These apricot blossoms are all mine, don't even try to steal it!"

Sometimes their chirping sounds can be a little bit loud...

awesome! <^⌔^>
