wolfmuc Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Might be a dove. Sorry. You'll have a lot of fun with this smart bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Some kind of Raptor. Crested Goshawk I think. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carib Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 After enlarging the pic on screen and noticing the shape of the beak I would say it is a raptor, but the pic is unclear to determine which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChakaKhan Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 If you ask a Thai--will say Nok Bird......just like Sangsom is Whisky~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I would say its a young sparrowhawk. The markings on the chest suggest it could be this, or indeed a goshawk but are those species found over here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The Eurasian Sparrowhawk has quite a wide range. Blue indicates non-breeding winter range. https://www.thainationalparks.com/species/eurasian-sparrowhawk There are other sparrowhawks in Thailand.

cyberfarang Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 It`s a zebra dove. Have loads in my garden. These small pigeons are quite tame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moe666 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Not a Raptor because the beak doesn't bend down for tearing flesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look much like the zebra dove at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flew off pretty low , had a good wingspan. Sat there for a while, nice bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmsally Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Some kind of raptor , maybe a sparrowhawk. I think it is a juvenile , hence not very pronounced beak and outline/markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyloszeus Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 It could be female immature shrika not a great photo. I think they are not so common in this part of Thailand, east and south east. Just a guess. Well spotted anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I found a truly amazing app that uses AI to identify flora and fauna from photos that you take with it. If the AI doesn't get it all the way to genus or species, others in the community will also see it and try to do an ID. It's called iNaturalist, produced by National Geographic and the California Academy of Sciences. https://www.inaturalist.org Rather the discuss everything that it does, go have a look. I have found it to be sort of addicting and find myself trekking through the forest to see if I can come up with something new, plus your findings are documented and mapped for the use of researchers.

Well spotted anyway. sorry...had to take the photo through the window . it was only about a meter away. i am surprised how many different birds are around .....maybe i am getting to the age where bird watching will be my retirement hobby. The one in photo almost definitely a small raptor ....first one i've seen up close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where should I report for public flogging, as I'm sure my pun is WAY off base in my personal exps as a teacher here. Can bring alone your brigade that liked your comment as well.......I suppose will have to give a wai at the temple too... Which of the 13 smiles should I use to redeem myself in your eyes....?

I think I would go with Zebra Dove as well. Here is the iNaturalist page with more photos and info: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/3607-Geopelia-striata But looking at it again and that curved beak, maybe it is a Shikra. Have a look at the photos: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/5143-Accipiter-badius Also note its vertical, upright stature. I think doves do not perch like that.

bubba Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Here's another idea: Eurasian Sparrowhark. iNaturalist show that the Shikra is commonly misidentified for this bird: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/5106-Accipiter-nisus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LM405 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I would definitely agree it is a bird of prey, it appears to be a Sparrowhawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I am going to plump for juvenile Japanese or Eurasian Sparrowhawk . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
