Bredbury Blue Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Just sat admiring the view from a koh chang house we're renting for a few days and 2 x racket tailed drongos have flown by. Such a beautiful but strange looking bird. Last time I saw some was on the river in kanchanaburi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Worked it out. They fly back and forward across this little bay in to the tree just in front of the house (right side). Awesome sight: strange flying bird with that long tail. Typical though, I take my binoculars every where we go but this trip I forgot them.

Popular Post Aladdin Posted May 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2016 It is a pain in the back to get out of bed at 05:00, but it can be very rewarding. The streets of Bangkok are almost empty and you can see some very nice birds.

Popular Post Aladdin Posted June 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Time for another picture so we can keep the "For the birds" on the first page. This time Green Bee eaters 2 hours from Bangkok This was an amazing experience. I could walk all the way up to the bird. otherwise they are very shy. When I was feed up with taking pictures I left and the bird followed me. I have never experienced something like this before, maybe because of my "whistle" technique Edited June 7, 2016 by Aladdin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Black crested Bulbul in one of the national parks that charge us 10 times more than Thai people. Wonder how that is working out for them. I was back from Singapore yesterday Flying to Europe on Thursday (Biz) Flying to Australia the same day I'm back from Europe (Biz) Back in the day it would all have been with Thai Airways, now none of the flights are with Thai. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Nothing to do with Thailand. I just came back from Singapore. And of course, I didn't brought my camera as I never expected to see any exciting stuff in Singapore. But suddenly, there was a Hornbill and I only had my Scooby Doo camera 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Aladdin Posted June 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2016 Cheers Samuijimmy and Verbalkint I kind of like the white borders against the white back ground. But you are right, it is kind of distracting. So I try with 2 more Asian Openbill and this time I have saved them at 80% quality instead of 55%. It makes some difference on the sharpness and quality. But the file sizes are blown out of proportion. And a full page of high quality pictures takes for ever to load. Especially pages where they have not compressed the pictures at all. But the pictures are of course more pleasant to look at 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Aladdin Posted June 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Another bird in Bangkok, a pond Heron. At 80% but as with the pictures above, still some halo effect around the edges Edited June 16, 2016 by Aladdin 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
