The image in the cover is of a red-billed blue magpie. This is a species of bird in the crow family. It is about the same size as the Eurasian magpie, but has a much longer tail. The head, neck, and breast are black with a bluish spotting on the crown. The shoulders are duller blue, and the underparts are a greyish cream. The long tail is a brighter blue with a broad, white tip. The bill is a bright orange-red, as are the legs and feet and a ring around each eye.
