Thaibirds and more

This shiny little bird always causes excitement. Quite easy to observe at Pah Gloaymai campsite at Khao Yai during the right time of year. It is simply very busy gleaning grubs from the fairly low trees found at the campsite.

I seldom get to see Common and Spotted Redshanks next to each other. Here we can clearly see the difference in bill, size, supercilium and plumage.

I have been busy taking out visiting birders of late. The prim A very exciting addition to our avifauna since a couple of years back is the White-faced Plover. There is only one confirmed individual here this year at Lampakbia but this individual has proven to be reliable. Sometimes during hightide it does move away a bit from the sandspit but always reappears as the tide begins to go down. Isn't he a charmer? 2.11.0.0
