Kréi - Eurasian Magpie

Pica pica

Summary 5

The Eurasian magpie or common magpie (Pica pica) is a resident breeding bird throughout Europe, much of Asia and the Maghreb. It is one of several birds in the crow family designated 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: the only other magpie in Europe is the Iberian magpie (Cyanopica cooki), which is limited to the Iberian peninsula.
