Daily wildlife photography: the iberian magpie, Cyanopica cooki. This bird is endemic to the iberian peninsule, and it's very similar to the eurasian magpie. To the untrained eye (and probably more trained too!), it's almost impossible to tell them apart. She is beautiful, with the azure colours and the black head. It's impossible to confuse it with any other species in the country! I normally see them in the southern part of the country, and they were a common visitor where I was staying during holidays. Photos taken in Algarve, Portugal.
