The magpie - a striking bird which not many warm to - Independent.ie Common Crow, Eurasian Magpie, Irish Garden, Greenfinch, Bird Identification, Bird Calls, Dark Wings, Common Birds, Jackdaw

While, on the face of it, the Magpie is a striking bird with its plump body, upright stance, long tail, confidently alert demeanour, bold black and white pattern and plumage with a metallic iridescent purple, blue and green sheen, not many people appear to warm to it. Worse still, it has long been associated with evil as an English observation from 1507 testifies: "Whan pyes chatter vpon a house it is a sygne of ryghte euyll tydynges."
