Poisonous catch

Yesterday, I was driving into my car porch, when I saw a crow pheasant in the grass way ahead of me.  Something about the way it was acting made me stay in the car and watch.  I realised it was trying to catch a black scorpion.  I somehow managed to drag my phone out and took a video.  It is a little long distance . Please watch full screen to see the action.
On my phone, when I enlarge the image I realised the bird attacked the venomous tail first.  Anyway, it got it's catch.

Magpie robins

I was recently in Cochin at my daughter's home.  There i happen to spy a pair of magpie robins.  I love the way they look and their sweet whistle like calls.  Somehow here, in spite of all the trees we have around here, I hardly ever get to hear the magpie robin these days probably because their calls are drowned out by the loud raucous calls of the racket-tailed drongos.  I have to admit their calls can be beautiful too.  It is just that they are so loud!  I managed to get pictures of the pair, male and female--

This was the first time I got to see a female so close.  I see she is a dark brown.  I was unable to record their song though.
