Eurasian magpie

The Eurasian magpie is a striking black-and-white bird found across Europe and northern Asia. It's a clever member of the crow family, known for its bold personality and glossy feathers. Unlike its Australian namesake, this magpie isn't actually closely related to birds called magpies in other parts of the world.

• Lives year-round across nearly all of Europe and much of Asia.
• One of only two magpie species found in Europe.
• Shares its name with Australian magpies but isn't related to them.
