The Magpie seldom visits Heligoland, but from the North Cape in Scandinavia southward it occurs, more or less plentifully, throughout Europe, except in the islands of Corsica and Sardinia. It is not recorded from Palestine, although found in Asia Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Saunders, Howard, 1835-1907.
