I looked him up too...
I like him on the wire -- it seems from googling lots of images of this
bird there are many where he is sitting ona wire or a very thin branch
with no leaves, etc.. often in the open rather than in leafy trees.. so
the cable as a perch seems quite appropriate.
I do wish there were not those blown out spots in the background,
though... partly because my eyes are extra sensitive to glare, perhaps, but
also because they distract a bit from the robin... a pita to clone them
out though I know and one wouldn't want to change the proportions - the
geometry is just right to my eye

I can see how it got the "magpie" part of its name, but where does
the "robin" come from?
i guess from the similarity in shape to a robin. from wikipedia: "This
species is 19 centimetres (7.5 in) long, including the long tail, which
is usually held cocked upright. It is similar in shape to the smaller
European robin, but is longer-tailed."
