Female Wreathed Hornbill.

Seagulls having a party.

Bird in the bush! (tree) which has fruit that looks like whole black pepper .... all should be ripe in a week or so, this tree will be swarming with birds...

Perhaps I'll get a better shot! >

Common Black and white bird

Oriental Magpie-Robin: common, but an interesting bird that would deserve detailed study.

I have a pair in the gardens of the condo I manage.. I see them everyday when they come for a cheeky feed off the Spirit House and a bath in the pool over flow. Recently another pair seem to have decided to move in.... Will try and get some photos.

Can anyone name this owl?

You guys have really brought up the quality level of these photos! Greatly appreciate all the posts and this is much better than reading any bird book.

thank you. but this last shot I posted was by member 'goshawk' now banned (he is my brother in law) so the credit goes to him, not me.... he says hi btw.

May I ask what sin that very helpful ex member committed to deserve that ?

Blue-throated Barbet.

What are they?

Geese or ducks?

^If it looks like, if it sounds like, if it behaves like a duck, it's a duck.

Muscovy duck.

These are mine...

My heraldic bird is the duck.

It can walk

It can swim

It can dive

It can fly

But nothing perfect...

At Nong Nooch tropical garden

I have a tree next to my house. Today I noticed something what looked a bit like a dead leaf, yet too small for this tree. So I decided to take a peak through camera.

Apparently I have new neighbours! Any idea what bird this is?

My first attempt to photograph a bird on the top of my roof with my new lens.

I seems the camera focused more on the tiles of the roof than the actual subject.

Anybody knows what is this fine specimen?

Common Mynah... Lovely birds with a seriously cheeky attitude. Always looking for a way to cause mischief. Very untidy nesters though and will make a mess if on your building. Huge range of calls, as you would expect with a Mynah. Their cousin the White Vented Mynah is much more handsome with a lovely crest. Still as noisy though!

Looks like a sunbird, but not sure which one.

Thanks. I managed to capture couple of photos of the suspected parents. Those little birds fly very fast and are almost impossible to capture the camera. I ended up asking from Peter who have taken a lot of photos of the birds in Thailand http://www.pbase.com/peterericsson/birds_of_thailand

Orange-bellied Flowerpeckers

I thought this was the mother, but it's different species
