jack2964 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I don't know enough but yours does look like a male because of the greyish head and rufous chest/belly. The females and juveniles are even tougher for me to tell apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Farther to the bird in post 359. Had a look in a site I have found helpful before http://orientalbirdimages.org/search.php?Bird_ID=439&Bird_Image_ID=72521&p=6 And they call this bird "Female plaintive cuckoo hepatic morph" It would seem a normal female is pretty much the same as the male. Now hepatic is a word I have never come across before so I looked it up. Seems from what little I can gather that it is something to do with the liver as in hepatitis. Anyone ever come across this before in any other bird or animal species ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen plenty of hepatic cuckoos; some are almost impossible to identify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryBScot Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 This lovely Uhu...is too far to catch a sharp picture, she or he is in Hua Hin Tree... That's an Asian Barred Owlet which, as you can tell, likes to stare at you - very small and hard to see but really beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But easy to hear, I have them calling right outside the hotel here in Siem Reap. And I think as far as owls go, they are the easiest species to see as they are often active during the day. At Ang Trapang Thmor I see them on almost every visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack2964 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Another first for me. A juvenile Lesser Coucal, never yet spotted an adult. l c j.JPG Good catch, I've only seen a Lesser adult over at Bueng Boraphet. In my local patch all I see is Greater coucal and quite often as road kill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one here which calls almost every night if it isn't raining but all attempts to sight it has failed. The call is a single 'huuuu' repeated after approx 10sec. I am thinking Collared Scops but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 While on owls : This one is a barred owlet, the only halfway decent photo I have been able to get so far This bird was preening with its back to me and did not turn its head, after about 5 min I got impatient and gave a whistle, it had a look then carried on with its toilet, I was obviously of no interest.. Seen several but they are mostly either to far away or in very dim places or both, making it difficult to get a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Best alarm clock in the world. Used to be that a magpie robin was the first bird song outside my window every morning but now this little Fella has taken over. Common Tailorbird in its perch among the wires. And there are some who think that the only things that go cheep, cheep, cheep in this country are the girls along Pattaya beach, oh hang on that's spelt different 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks Goshawk! I was a bit counting that you would be able to name it I tried to look for hawk pictures in Phuket as it's quite slim, but the slightly round head was confusing. Bird name Hawk Owl makes a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The brown hawk owl wanted to pose and moved itself to a better location so I had to serve it's needs.
