The white-breasted woodswallow (Artamus leucorynchus) can be found in Australia and Southeast Asia.
In colder climates they are often seen huddled together to conserve heat, such as in the photo in this post.
In warmer climates they are not as cute and cuddly, and instead like to stay in sunny open fields looking like angry birds.
Agile and fast-flying, they can be seen soaring high, or just as commonly on the ground where they can look at you eye to eye.
Thanks for an introduction to a bird we don’t have here.

Thanks too, Margaret.
I was surprised they don’t go as far north.

It does have a stern look. It mist be the eyes as the beak is cheery enough.

Yes, they have that stern look.
They’re quite harmless actually (though I wouldn’t say that if I was an insect 😊).
They are a welcome cheerful sight.
