Oriental Magpie-Robin

I love these birds they're about the size of a Thrush and it's easy to see why Magpie is part of their name   -  as for the Robin part I think it's probably because they cock their tail feathers - to my mind more like a Wren than a Robin.  

I've nothing to report today, we've not done anything much and yet the time is flying by;  we're getting through lots of books and Sudoku and my going in search of birds and butterflies is ensuring I'm getting some exercise.  I used to go to the gym when we came here but on the whole I don't care for working out in the gym and would much rather get exercise when I'm just out and about.

Many thanks for stopping by my journal, it's really appreciated.
