These shots were taken from a blind by a waterhole where some bird feed had been put out as well. First to the feast was the rather non descript Scaly-breasted Partridge.
Easily the most common and vocal partridge in the Central region.
What I was hoping for was to be able to get close views of Bar-backed Partridges.
I associate these birds with moderate levels of mountains but they had been reported from Ban SongNok which is a forested area almost at sea level. Scaly-breasted is a daily visitor but the Bar-backed coming in is a new happening.
Perhaps the abundance of food and water helped to bring them to the area?
These birds are so nicely decorated. A group of 4 showed up to my delight.
A visit to Ban SongNok is a most rewarding experience.
