For The Birds !

[Ron19]

What bird makes these very well made nests ?

Buy the way, I was offered a Nok Kha Wow nestling yesterday afternoon.It was fully feathered but too young to fly.Nocked it back.

That's a Baya Weaver nest Ron.

They build a new one each year.

Where are you seeing these? Ducks look like Whistling D. But this species is not, as far as I know seen in Thailand

Saw a pair of these lovely birds today. Took this through the window with iPhone.

The pics are taken close to KY national park in Nakhon Nayok. The ducks are fairly common here. Here's a clearer shot.

That was in Myanmar near Ranong. Stunning environment there.

Nice Lesser Whistling Duck. I was thrown by the apparent white rump in the flight shots which would point to Wandering Whistling Duck - as found in Australia. The Darter is a very rare sight. Well spotted.

Yes they feed from money trees, latin name 'farang monius plentius'.

They are also partial to a bit of somtam too on occasion, when they're not out hunting for shoes to fill the nest.

Be careful of their droppings,

Sorry for the thread <deleted> guys, I will stop now.

Not a photo but a request since you guys can probably help. I have broken my birding bins and need a new pair! Anyone know any good online(Thai) sources? I live on route 21 about 12 clicks north of Phetchabun City but don't know any optics shops there.

Thanks

A fairly common, certainly not rare, sight in Thailand . . . obviously you've an increased chance of seeing one around larger bodies of water. Also they're not resident, but visitors . . . so numbers fluctuate. Where did you see that one?

[Smithson]

^ I saw it in a reservoir on the southern border of Khao Yai.

Was that photo take in Thailand ?

It is a Pelican (spot billed?) and according to the book I have they are only a winter visitor that have only been recorded in the central plain area and eastern seaboard.

never seen one myself.

[Goshawk]

^ Spot-billed is the only Pelican found in the wild in Thailand . . . although increasing, it is still a very rare bird for the region. I've never seen (a wild) one either.

^^^ FG...Zoo's & Game reserves are great places for animal photography!

Saves driving & hiking in rather dangerous territory in the hopes of perhaps

...even a blurry shot at best. The Blether had some nice tiger pix on the Nature

thread if I remember correctly.

Patient model...Nice pic!
