MESmith Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Looks like moorhen. We get them living in our garden, next to the fish pond. Beak looks a bit long, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aslimversgwm Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Nice to hear from the birders on here. When is Adrian going to organise another birding trip I wonder? It was great joining like-minded souls on the couple of trips I managed to participate in to Huay Thung Tao lakeside. For those who don't know there is a Bird Watching Group OGA (Outside Group Activity] affiliated to the CM Expat Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
