Popular Post Skeptic7 Posted October 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2018 Was excited to stumble upon a brief chance to photograph a Stork-billed Kingfisher the other day in Samut Sakhon. For those who've never seen one, the bill on this beautiful bird is extraordinary. Hearing the bird's cackling laugh I hurried to locate it in hopes of a pic. Unfortunately after only time for about 4 rapid distant snaps, the bird was gone. Of course it managed to keep its monstrous maw well hidden behind the foliage. Did my best to enlarge and crop for a peak at that beak. ???? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjarnNorth Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Nice. I have only seen SBKF twice - once in Bang Phra, Chonburi and another time in Sanghalaburi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AjarnNorth Posted October 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2018 Went up to my old patch in Surin last weekend (Huai Saneneg Reservoir) and had a quick look around. No time to really get into what was out there but good to see some of the old familiars that I don't often see here in Chonburi. Black Drongo; Brahminy Kite (juv); Black-shouldered Kite; Chestnut Munia; Indian Roller; Pied Buschchat (juv) and Stonechat (male); Purple Swamphen (aka Black-backed). I do see all these here in Chonburi, just not as regularly as up there. I also saw - but did not get photos of - Red Avadavat, Pheasant-tailed jacana, etc. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AjarnNorth Posted October 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2018 Bird of the day. Grey-headed Lapwing (juvenile). Bangsaen, Chonburi, 12 Oct 2018. Only the fourth time I have seen this species - first in Surin many years ago and three times since here - and all four sightings have been of just one bird. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjarnNorth Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Birds belong in the wild. That's my opinion. Take it or leave it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt1591 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Birds belong in the wild. That's my opinion. Take it or leave it. If "set free", these birds would appear to be little more than great meals at this stage in their lives. I guess that is, indeed, part of the natural scheme.

Popular Post AjarnNorth Posted December 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2018 Not in or from my yard, but a first for me. Apologies for the terrible photos, but I am not much of a photographer. Just a birder with a point and shoot superzoom. This is a first for me. Rufous-bellied Eagle at Khao Soi Dao, 4 December 2018. Photo one is cropped. Photo 2 is cropped and light adjusted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjarnNorth Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 And this was great to see, also at Khao Soi Dao. White-throated Rock-Thrush (male). Uncommon winter visitor. Only the second I have seen in ten years of birding, the first in Surin in March of 2011, also a male. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AjarnNorth Posted December 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2018 Not yard but on my regular circuit here in Bangsaen. Thought Two-barred at first, but have settled on Yellow-browed (Inornate). Sorting warblers is a difficult task. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjarnNorth Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I don't usually travel for birds, but had some time off and decided to visit Laem Pak Bia - Pak Thale to see, one hopes, the Spoon-billed Sandpiper, as well as a number of other species here I have never seen. Arrived in Pak Thale with 90 mins of sunlight left and clocked three species new to me. Ruddy Shelduck (rare winter visitor) , Caspian Tern, Broad-billed Sandpiper. Looking forward to tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AjarnNorth Posted December 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2018 Got the target species - Spoon-billed Sandpiper - morning and evening of 22 December. You need a lot of patience, a spotting scope or someone with a scope, and it helps if there is a friendly guide nearby happy to point out the bird and allow you to view it through his scope even though you are not part of his group or don't have any guide your self. So thanks to Mr. Joy for the help. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Looks like the red-headed trogon but I will wait for the experts. The nearest I have seen it to Khao Yai is Nam Nao NP in Phetchaboon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assurancetourix Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I don't know anything about birds. So, I like to read what expert like you are saying and writing and after I'm looking with Google some more informations.
