re Blue Rock Thrush

[(John Leonard)]

Looking at Round and Lekagul I can tell you that the Blue Rock-thrush is
real beauty. About 19 cm long, looks bit like a Bassian Thrush but a bit
more upright (it's not all that closey related to the true thrushes), and,
if male, completely unmistakeable.

It seems that it's a winter vistor to Thailand (ie September to May,
northern winter). This one must have taken one look at the Haze and flown on
for another few thousand kilometers. They are supposed to haunt towns and
gardens in Thailand.

Wish I could get to Noosa.
