I finally managed to photograph one of the famous local birds, a magpie. These guys have such a nice motion in flight but unfortunately that couldnt be captured in a still. I reduced the saturation of all colour channels to 0 apart from blue to really emphasise how colourful these birds are - they are not just black and white. There is no saturation boost for the blue either!

Great in-flight shot -- love the wingspread. I've found these birds very hard to photograph well. You're right about the color. You have some very nice bird photos in your stream.
