There are dozens of birds in the garden, and even more at the farm.  But while I was in the undergrowth the other day, picking up rubbish that had been blown about, I found three beautiful feathers. These feathers were striking in their brightness.

 

I left them in the pick-up for a few days before this morning. They had faded a little; or at least I think they had. Should have snapped them when I first got hold of them.

Yes, Indian Roller.

FYI to anyone interested and for accuracy...previously this bird was called "Indian Roller" (Coracias benghalensis) here in Thailand and I like that common name better, but that is no longer correct. It's been determined they are 2 separate species. So for about 5 years now, it's Indochinese Roller (Coracias affinis) found in Thailand, not Indian Roller (Coracias benghalensis) which is found throughout India. See range map below.

Sounds more like a Blue Rock Thrush.

With the bad air pollution, does this affect birds health or breeding?  

Only if they are anti-mask

Just bird nerdy FYI...Not called Spangled Drongo here anymore. It's now Hair-crested Drongo (Dicrurus hottentottus) in Thailand (and Asia). Whereas Spangled Drongo (Dicrurus bracteatus) is found N and E Australia and New Guinea. They were formerly considered the same species. 

Thanks, Skeptic7.
