Popular Post Greenside Posted July 5, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Thank you very much. Beautiful bird and not particularly unusual judging by the vast number of (good) photographs that a search brings up. This one seemed to have a hint of blue visible on its tail when it took flight. Here's what my picture should have looked like! Edited July 5, 2022 by Greenside typo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwill Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I see them around my home for a couple of weeks and then they disappear for about 3 months and come back again. They must migrate some.

roquefort Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Thanks for the ID. I spotted lots of them on Laguna golf course in Phuket and wondered what they were. Stunning birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
