Thieving Magpie with azure wings

The azure winged magpies come to steal the cat food every morning from the bowl on the back terrace of the cortijo. How privileged I feel to see these beautiful creatures that only exists here in the Iberic peninsular and far  away in parts of China, Japan, Korea and Mongolia. They seem to be very prolific on the finca this year, it's a wonderful sight to see large flocks flying past in a flash of electric blue.
