laughing is contagious

the white-crested laughing thrush Garrulax leucolophus was spotted at the start of cave path at bkt timah today. on a branch quite near to the path . this guy hails from the himalayas or northeast india and was introduced to singapore. apparently quite common here though this is the first time i see it. very striking appearance - look like zorro. we saw a pair of them. apparently, they like to hang out in a group and when they start laughing, the noise is deafening.

i didnt bring my camera with me that day.. : ((
