My short words
The magpie on the 163 st in the sunny day.
The magpie was resting for a little while on the 163st signpost.
I couldn't help taking a photo. Why?
The bird and the atmosphere gave me some pleasure :)
Memo
Is it an Eurasian magpie (Pica pica) or an American magpie (Pica hudsonia)?
It can be distinguished by the tail which has a little blue or blue-green color. [3]
