Magpie in Flight

Caught this beautiful bird in the back garden on a chilly but bright day recently.

Got about a few shots off before he disappeared but this was one of my favourites against the blue sky, blossom and a little cloud.

Looked a bit untidy as he sat on a neighbouring roof before he took off but such a fine form but fast when flying that it was difficult to capture and choose which shot to post as I got some close ups but like the contrast between the pink and blue.

Hope someone likes such an ordinary bird and so much blue sky.
