Oriental Magpie-Robin (Copsychus saularis)
Observed: Koh Chang, February 2015
Observed By: David Vinot
The poor old Oriental magpie-Robin has been the victim of confusion. At first it was thought to be a member of the thrush family but these days it has been classified as an old-world flycatcher, whatever that is. Add to that the fact that it’s called a magpie -Robin because it looks like a robin sized magpie and it’s a grand recipe for confusion.
What we do know, however, is that it is a pretty little black and white bird that lives on Koh Chang.
