Greeted at the start of a walk around Pasir Ris Park, Singapore, on 16 Feb 2019 by this Oriental Magpie-Robin (Copsychus saularis). It wasn't bothered by me standing a few metres from it taking shots. It was more interested in looking for something to eat.

Local Status: Uncommon resident

Two Oriental Magpie-Robins (Copsychus saularis) spotted at Fraser's Hill, Malaysia, on 21 Nov 2018. The first one is a juvenile (lighter coloured breast feathers and shorter tail) while the other is an adult male (darker coloured feathers).

The male seems to be giving me a quizzical look in the last shot. :-)
