A Magpie Robin and its tail

Our naked eyes will naturally fail to enable us better appreciate the beauty of any bird.  Anyone could have easily walked past this moulting Oriental Magpie Robin.  It's also pretty confiding and didn't mind me approaching and clicking away from behind it.  I was also attracted to it simply because I've not had better occasion than this one to capture it from the rear, with its gorgeous upturn tail.

And as usual a bird preening provides the best opportunity for extended photographic time.
