[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The azure-winged magpie (Cyanopica cyanus) is a bird in the crow family. It is 31–35 cm long and similar in overall shape to the Eurasian magpie (Pica pica) but is more slender with proportionately smaller legs and bill. It belongs to the genus Cyanopica.

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 (16–20 cm) tail an azure blue. It inhabits various types of coniferous (mainly pine) and broadleaf forest, including parks and gardens in the eastern populations.

Hi Biswarup,
Excellent shot. Simple yet nice composition, great sharpness, exceptional clarity and quiet background, which helps to grab the viewer's attention on the bird only. One of your best shots recently. Bravo!
Kind regards, László

Hello Biswarup,
A beautiful Azure-winged Magpie captured in an attractive relaxed pose. The powder blue wing and tail feathers contrast nicely with it's gray back, white breast and coal black cap. Good eye contact and just the right amount of exposure. I like the clean BG.
