Iberian Magpie happy to eat the fruits of a tree I couldn't identify. I think it might be a Melia Azedarach, a chinaberry. Whatever it was, it was very popular with the magpies as several times a day a large flock came to eat the fruits.

This is the Iberian Magpie (Cyanopica cooki)*, also duped as the Azure-blue winged Magpie. it is only really found nesting in central Spain or northern Portugal (in Europe). but also can be found in many areas of east and central Asia, such as Korea.
* The asian variant of the Azure winged magpie has a different scientific name, 'Cyanopica cyanus'
* In Portugal, the bird can also be called 'Pega-Azul', but was corrected to 'Charneco',
You cannot tell from a distance, or even up close if this Magpie is male or female, and would require a specialist.
This species, much like other Magpie species, is not able to be mistaken due to its uncommon feather coloring and patterns.

February 17, 2021 - Iberian Magpie (Cyanopica cooki)
Found in Spain and Portugal in open woodlands with grassy clearings, this species was recently split from the Azure-winged Magpie. They feed on a wide variety of animal and plant foods, including seeds, insects, fruits, small reptiles, and carrion, foraging in groups and roosting in large flocks of over a hundred birds. Breeding in loose colonies, males and helpers gather nest materials, including twigs, lichen, and moss. Females construct the nests and incubate the eggs while males feed them. Both parents and their helpers feed the chicks.

Lo ves // Do you see it? Adoro al rabilargo (Cyanopica cooki), especie que solo habita en España y únicamente tiene parientes en el extremo oriente del planeta. Es un córvido muy inteligente y esquivo. #birdsofinstagram #bird #birds #birdlovers #birds_captures #pajaros #peninsula #creatures #amazing (en Madrid, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAF4bPAjW0i/?igshid=16ezl286mp71t
