    I love these guys. They're somewhat reminiscent of the familiar european wagtails, though they're actually related to flycatchers. Always elegantly patterned in black and white, they're (to me, at least) some of Asia's most charismatic river creatures. Also, they normally have long forked tails, but this species, the smallest of the bunch, is the exception. Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago
