does anyone know what the bird that is mostly black, but with a bueatiful dash of yellow/orange under each wing? Quite small, about the size of one of my children. ( a rooster's that is) I've seen them along the coast mainly |

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. <img src="http://www.compunicate.com/Lamma/29/Rufous-backed_Shrike.jpg" border=1> |

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