| Identification |
|---|
| The size was almost similar to our Singapore house crows but it has blue feathers and no ring on its legs. However, it is difficult to tell if this is a Eurasian or an Oriental Magpie. |
| Habitat/behaviour |
|---|
| It landed right beside a green bin and was looking for food on the ground. It then flew up into the tree right above it and was calling. Awhile later it flew to 2 trees away from the current tree and was chased around by one of the house crows. I first spotted it at 9am and stayed around until 9.30am. I have the photos and videos of the bird calling in google drive and have also posted some videos of the exact location of the bird on SG BIRDS (Sightings/Live Updates) telegram group. |
| Viewing conditions |
|---|
| It was drizzling at the time I took the photo and video and was just less than 10 meters away from me. |
| Observer's experience |
|---|
| I saw this bird previously at Bedok North last year. |
