Points awarded for guessing why it's called Eric's Hi-Viz Coachman.

Incidentally, before anyone asks if I razored the wing. Nope, nearly all corvids have a very definite trailing edge to their primaries.

Thats an absolute corker Alex, the magpie wing is perfection and such a lovely sheen to it, beautiful fly and awesome tying

Well said Wingman, the peacock body is brilliant. Very, very nice

Because Waynes Hi-Viz Coachman sounds a bit chavvy?

Tied to perfection whatever the reason for the name.
