Thank you, thetefldon.

Nice to know the names of the birds I see in my garden.

Just now I spotted another one.

Some serious cropping here as I'm shooting from my window.

Would you know the kind?

Crested myna

Thank you but.........

The crested myna (Acridotheres cristatellus) is a species of starling native to southeastern China and Indochina. Unlike other similarmynas, its bill is dull whitish rather than orange-yellow.

Wikipedia.

Is it still a crested myna?

Mousehound, the Hoopoes are back and they brought some friends with them.

Would you know what kind of bird the friends are?

The other bird is a Black Collared Starling- usually seen in pairs and have a very distinctive call.

Thank you, thetefldon.

Thank you for warning me.

Double locks on the doors and extra iron bars on the windows from tomorrow morning.

In fact thinking of going to one of those Wats I visit and become a monk for a while.

She's been very broody recently.

She wants a baby girl.

We can't go out together without her, when she sees a little girl turning around and telling me.

I want one of those.

Hope the bloody stork, doesn't come in tonight.................................

Hi TP1

Asian Openbill

most migrate from India from memory

Asian Openbill are resident to Thailand (as well as India and etc.) and fairly common here year round depending on where you are. Though they apparently do get around a bit...

Interesting. So they nest in Thailand and most migrate to Bangladesh.
