Popular Post samuijimmy Posted April 30, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2014 This bird, I have never seen before, poor little bugger, flew into a window twice, luckily after about 10 minutes of holding him, he flew off... seemingly OK Juvenile, I would say (?) Nice green wing colour.... I am sure one of you "Twitters or birders" will know what it is ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Emerald Dove. Common, but usually only seen as a green flash disappearing down the path. Thanks Jack and Hanno..... Where I saw this yesterday on Samui, was away from "built up" areas (only a couple of houses up in the hills) .... one of the owners said he sees them fairly often .... Never seen around my house, even though not that built up around me! ... or perhaps never got close enough to notice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen around my house, even though not that built up around me! ... or perhaps never got close enough to notice! They tend to be very discreet, quietly feeding on the ground. When spotted, the fly away low and fast. Learn the call and you will know if they are around your house.

hanno Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Blossom-headed Parakeets are in Thailand, but not very common. I have seen them in Vietnam and Cambodia but not yet in Thailand I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby nz Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Blossom-headed Parakeets are in Thailand, but not very common. I have seen them in Vietnam and Cambodia but not yet in Thailand I think. Quite a few around Singburi scattered over quite a large area. Saw a small flock recently carrying nesting material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doi Inthanon & Nam Nao NP's, are very reliable for this bird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robby nz Posted May 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) On the mud flats in Ranong, Pacific Golden Plover.

And could be pretty much anything You had another earlier in the same place (I think) as that Jimmy and the birds looked to have yellow feet so are probably little egrets.

Robby nz Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 While were on Egrets. Among the oysters, Pacific Reef Egret, You might see this one around the rocks on Samui Jimmy, they also come in white. They stay on the coast, don't go inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Yes, see the dark feathered one some times around the islands occasionally .... but not often....that I have noticed... The white ones flying ^ ...where down Thali Noi Lake, way in Songkhla .... these are the same I think, but cannot say for sure,???.... they pop out the the reeds so quickly and take off one can't always tell!!! (same area) The greater or lesser Egret ? I am not sure! I think the little guy is a Tern ?.... I'll leave this to your better judgement!

Robby nz Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The little one is a Stilt, so called for its long legs, mostly a winter visitor but they stay around all year in some places. The big ones are Egrets, either Greater or Intermediate Egrets, not a lot of difference except a small difference in size and a marking on the face which I cant pick in your photo. Keep the photos coming, I enjoy looking through all the topics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerbalKint Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 went to Doi Inthanon for Thai Guru magazine, amazing variety of birds there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanno Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Black-winged stilts and Great Egrets. Intermediate do not have suck a kinked neck, just a S-shaped neck. Also, bill is much shorter as well as the neck. Intermediate appear rounder-headed. Just my opinion:-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
