Hmmm, can't think of anything answering that description.

Not by any chance a shrike? (Rufous-backed shrike). These are quite common around Pak Kok - they are usually single and sit on a prominent perch around the swampy area.

thanks Zep. Actually it was indeed the first thrush you sent a picture of. I've seen a few shrikes about too though.
