Black-winged Cuckooshrike

Black-winged Cuckooshrike (Lalage melaschistos, 暗灰鹃鵙).

Their range covers much of south east Asia. They summer high up in the mountains, but if one is lucky, this arboreal bird can be spotted in spring or autumn in Changsha. Its 'peew-peew-peew' call is rare here, but worth listening when the rare opportunity presents itself.
