Thread: Thailand bird photos

This fellow was out on the gate the other day. Hoopoes normally live in the mountains around here but when the burning season comes they visit the suburbs. Fantastic birds.



The better photo is not mine.

Purple sunbirds are nesting outside my kitchen again, this time in a difficult place to photo. If I open the kitchen window, they won't come near the nest so I have to leave it closed and photo through the glass. The female sits up in a nearby tree until she deems it safe enough. It will probably change once they started feeding but I won't be here then.









Not the best lighting to photo the male makes it quite a challenge.

Excellent shots. Sunbirds are small and they don't stay still for long.

What the heck is this bird? Stepped out the back to throw some bread in the canal for the fish and this guy pops up alone to investigate the bread. Didn’t seem too concerned I was there. Not a wading bird I normally see here. Crappy pics, but you can see it’s markings and it has wader legs.

^ look at the state of that klong, you really need to stop polluting it with food waste MK

The klong gets cloudy when it rains. There has been a snakehead fish hanging out for a while along with a lot of minnows I’ve been watching and feeding.

Don’t worry about me polluting the canal. My neighbors do a great job of that.

I'd say Common Moorhen.

Yep. I agree.
