Red-Billed Magpie

Red-Billed Magpie

Seen on Lamma Island about a week or so ago... exact location & date tbc

Description I was given by an avid birdwatcher who could not find it in any of the books..
"was about the size & looked like a Magpie, with a long tail, grey back & a red  beak.... quite a stunning looking bird".......

No photo though as the lady doesn't photograph, but over the past few years has directed me to a number of birds & has been able to identify them all correctly on each occasion

Possible.. but lady was adamant that plumage was grey... just remembered... said undertail was barred
