Field Notes

Description:

The Magpie Robin's sad story is a parable of near extinction in Singapore. Magpie Robins were once widespread and common in Singapore now their status remains vulnerable.

Habitat:

They prefer open areas such as mangroves, gardens, cultivated areas. They are not found in the deep forest.
Magpie Robins have a delightful varied song and are said to be able to imitate the calls of other birds. They are sprightly and lively, often cocking their long tails

Thank you for the ID monkey mind, it appears these guys are quite rare to find now in Singapore.
Any ID's for this bird? Would appreciate the help. :)
