Doyel (Oriental Magpie Robin)


The Doyel (this is a male) is sitting over a tube well near a cultivated land of vegetables in our village where we had a recent trip. I think the bird is aiming to eat worms and insects from the field. This long tail bird sings loudly!
Doyel is very familiar bird. We see them in cities and as well as in villages. 
Do you know this is the national bird of Bangladesh?
