Where is our friend Aladdin ?

Lost in Brugges?

Lots of birds showing up lately ..Obviously matting season with all the chirping and dancing / feather flapping, going on... but hard to get close enough to get good images...

This is one of the better ones... Blue King fisher... (Indian Rollers I seen too, still waiting to get a few pics! )

 

 

 

 

Drongo (I think) just too far away....

First one is a White-throated Kingfisher. Second is  Greater Racket-tailed Drongo.

Took this from the truck while taking the dogs out for their daily romp.

I'll just call it a sunbird. I'm sure it will be corrected or clarified.

You got it. Male Olive-backed Sunbird (in breeding plumage).

Over wintering?

Taiga Flycatcher from my backyard this morning.

Running out of birds around here.

No idea what the name of this bird is. Pic taken at Doi Inthanon, Chiang Mai Province.

He would not come close... I think a Hawk, which we see on Samui sometimes!

Cropped down some!

[kgpr]

I think this is a chestnut-crowned laughing thrush

Something's spooked them.

There are several hundreds more both left and right of this frame.

Taken from about 300 meters away with a 300mm lens with a 1.4X extender.

Not sure, what these are, seem to small for seagulls... Terns perhaps?

Not easy shots being in a Kayak!

 

 

[Jai Dee]

From the amount of guano on the rocks it looks like a regular nesting site.

Hi, here's a question for the birdexperts:

I got this little fellow on picture in February at Lumpini Park, Bangkok,

and just want it confirmed if it is a female Taiga Flycatcher (Ficedula albicilla) or not?

Certainly looks like a Taiga Flycatcher, can't say if it's male/female. Breeding male birds have red/orange throat but since this is a winter visitor(breeds outside Thailand) often they do not display the colour-particularly 1st winter birds.

In the garden of a friend;

not high in a little tree, so I can shoot the nest with the two babies inside;

I didn't touch the nest nor the babies

Went for a hot midday walk today in Suan Rot Fai Park in Bangkok!

Not many birds but got a few pictures:
