Yellow and black magpie

I've never heard of a yellow and black magpie... so bumping this up so hopefully more experienced birders than me might see it :o)

Found this on internet ... www.researchgate.net/.../286410201_Yellow_and_black_Common_Magpies_Pica_Pica

Obviously can't vouch for authenticity!

Good find Wendy - I would think that Magpie could be subject to feather variation just as other birds are - I've been stalking a melanistic Magpie that lives very close to me for over a year and I still haven't managed a photo

It would be great if you could get a photo Becky

www.google.com/search ... this link takes you to a pic, does it look like the bird you saw Becky?

Nice find Wendy I've never even heard of this never mind seeing one. Prof. Google throws another mystery at us

Hello and welcome to the group Becky.

Nature often throughs some interesting and  strange  spanners  in the workings, to coin the phrase.

I've never seen a yellow and black magpie, and  reading the replies, it strikes me to be quite a rare sighting.

Hi I had a pair of black and yellow magpies in my garden earlier I got a picture it's not great though as i didn't want to scare them off... Is there anyway to upload it please

Yes, there is, Debbie

First, click on Use Rich Formatting below any Reply box. This will open up the full editor.

Then, from the drop down Insert menu. choose Insert image/ video file. Then follow instructions.

Alternatively, you can simply drag and drop the file from your device into the editor pane.

Good luck

Ps I should have said your image file should be smaller than 4Mb or it won't load.

To upload photos, the following should help guide you through.

You can either upload a file, or use a link to upload the photos from Google Photos, Picasa or other photo sharing applications, though i'm not sure about Instagram or Facebook, they usually require those viewing the photos to be signed up, and not everyone uses those two.
