Popular Post TP1 Posted October 7, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2015 Mousehound, the Hoopoes are back and they brought some friends with them. Would you know what kind of bird the friends are? DSC_2521.jpg DSC_2522.jpg The other bird is a Black Collared Starling- usually seen in pairs and have a very distinctive call. 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? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TP1 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 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................................. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they nest in Thailand and most migrate to Bangladesh. I'm not sure that it's most, but definitely some. They are nearly everywhere there is water year round in the Chonburi/Central Thailand area. Even along the motorway very close to the city or on Bangna coming in from Chonburi, you see them soaring over the highways in pretty populated areas. And when I lived on a reservoir / wetlands in Surin they were there year round as well... but never had any breeding records. "The Birds of the Bangkok Area" by Philip Round has an in depth history of the Openbill in Thailand, nesting colonies and etc., from 1949 through to 2008 publication. Even if you live in the north or the northeast or the south, this a great book to have. It's not a field guide - it's a big book - and it doesn't cover all species - but it covers a lot of species and has more info on the species it does cover then you'll find elsewhere in print. Attached are pics of Openbill at Bangphra reservoir, one from July and two from late August. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
