Local sparrowhawk kill. Other wing was more fragmented so i didn't add it in the pic. Kill site was damaged by rain and pollen but the feathers were almost fully recoverable

My very first feather..
Found while hiking with my dad on an unnamed mountain which the locals call Mt.Goritsa.
I saw something shiny from afar on the trail while walking and went closer to inspect it. To my surprise, it wasn't a man-made object, but a beautiful rainbow-colored feather.
It was a pretty windy day, but the feather was held firmly to the ground under a large rock that was on top of its shaft. It was almost as if someone had placed it there intentionally, but the only people that go up there are goat herders. I picked it up and snapped a picture because of its beautiful colors even though i had no idea what bird it was from, not realizing it'd be such a life-changing find which would give birth to a new hobby that would take up a huge chunk of my life.
Magpie feathers may be common but this one is special ~ i still have it up to this day :)
(My name is based on this ~ karakaxa means magpie in Greek)
