Grey Shrike-thrush

Colluricincla harmonica

I love the song this bird sings, he's very territorial and answers me if I copy his tune
He spends some time occasionally looking at his reflection in our windows, but when
I took this photo he was replying to my whistled imitation of his song.
Not easy to see, just a plain looking bird, but I love to hear him when he comes calling.

[Thanks to Sonja I now have the correct name for this bird]

They haven't been here for the past 2 years. We miss them and adore that little brown button eye

PREDICTIVE TEXT!
COOKOO not cookbook! Sorry about that! :(

He looks very streamlined. I wonder if his song resembles the European cookbook in any way.
It's one we should be hearing very soon, a Spring herald.
