Popular Post thetefldon Posted December 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2015 A Christmas morning visitor to the big tree in my garden. Spot Breasted Woodpecker. A slightly unusual shot-not classic woodpecker pose. Taken from 2nd floor terrace so level or above bird. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assurancetourix Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 ^ Birdsthatfart, worth a look, great pics Gary! Than you so much. Crazy name for a birding site I know. When I retired I decided to make birding and travel my hobby, and the name reminds me NOT to take my hobby seriously. A very relaxing and stress free hobby that is way underrated IMO. I update my flickr site regularly also: http://www.flickr.com/photos/avianphotos Great photos on your Flickr account ; Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thetefldon Posted January 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2016 This Black Collared Starling is one of a pair that frequent the area near my home. They are often seen on the ground and have a very distinctive almost trumpeting call. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thetefldon Posted January 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2016 A new visitor to the big tree in the garden this afternoon. Racket Tailed Treepie Only got one shot which I have had to blast with PSE and over sharpen to make it viewable- not very good but I thought worth a share of this quite attractive bird for anyone who hasn't seen one. Only spotted it because the Drongos were mobbing it! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thetefldon Posted January 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2016 Plenty of action in the big tree in my garden over the last few days with the highlight a brief visit by a pair of Black Baza! Not very photogenic though, so will have to settle with sharing this shot of a Taiga Flycatcher which is either none breeding male or female(the breeding males look a tad like and English Robin with a red chest). The only way I was certain of identity of this somewhat nondescript bird(bit like Asian Brown and several other flycatchers) was the call which is quite distinctive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bredbury Blue Posted January 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2016 Just walked past this huge owl in a shopping mall animal/pet show.

Popular Post thetefldon Posted January 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hanging out to dry! We had some heavy rain yesterday PM after I spotted this Greater Coucal hanging out(literally) at the top of a tree trying to dry out in the late afternoon sun. These birds are normally ground dwellers but I guess needs must 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I went back to the shopping mall today (see above), same animal/pet show and same owl (several very cute prairie dogs too); here's another photo (sorry about the orientation from my phone). I asked what is it and was told it's a Siberian Eagle Owl. Turns out that hairdressers I've been going to for years in my mooban, owned by the wife's friend (I call the husband Eddie the Eagle because he keeps eagles and owls) has one of these beautiful birds...next time I go for my haircut I'll be able to check it out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetefldon Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks for the IDs. I'm in Nakhon Nayok, on the southern edge of Khao Yai NP. Are these birds rare at all?Not particularly rare but not always easily spotted. I usually see them in my local NP's all of which are mountainous. I use Craig Robsons "Birds of Thailand & SE Asia" for reference. You can buy it online at Asia Books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hanging out to dry! We had some heavy rain yesterday PM after I spotted this Greater Coucal hanging out(literally) at the top of a tree trying to dry out in the late afternoon sun. These birds are normally ground dwellers but I guess needs must Is there any possibility this was a Lesser Coucal? When I have seen them, it is very often when they are sunbathing. The head looks like it is halfway through a moult, perhaps between non-breeding (brownish head) and breeding (blueish black head) plumage. A photo takes away the concept of size unless a comparable object is also in the shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
