    Could it be a juvenile Changable Hawk-Eagle? (aka Crested Hawk-Eagle)

    I think you're right. A juvenile though. Very fluffy and yellow-brown rather than grey.
    When I first saw it I thought it was a garden ornament, it was so motionless. Went back the following Sunday with the little camera and it was still there. It has a rope around one leg.

    Ahh. It could belong to someone who does falconry. That would help explain its tameness. Is there a falconry club near you?

    Not that I know of, but a neighbour used to train his eagle in the carpark at the end of the soi.

    Anyone know what this bird is?? It's very much similar to a Myna bird in size but the colours are wrong. It has a yellow head, brown wings/body and a white underbelly. Have never seen them other than in my garden.

    Was running around the lake this morning and this guy hopped along the path in front of me. Then stopped in the grass just off the path. Was quite tame and didn't fly off as I got closer, just kinda hopped away keep a meter or so distance between us.






    Looked like a very plump Bluetit, but was green instead of blue.

    First time I ever saw one there.

    Anybody know what it is?

    Is that a white ring around its eyes?

    ^ Looks more yellow, than white.

    Googled the zosterops chloris from your link and looks quite similar.



    but fatter and with primarily black wings and tail.

    Would imagine it's some sort of relative. Also imagine that it didn't fly up here from Indonesia.

    Cheers.

    I really do struggle with birds, simply don't have the camera kit for them.

    I have a regular visitor to my pond this year, a Common Kingfisher, comes early morning and late afternoon. The problem is, at 30m, the bird is less than the size of one focus spot on my 450mm equivalent lens. The lack of light also doesn't help with the ISO whacked up to 4000 to take this shot.

    I was looking at a 600mm prime lens but $7k-$8k is out of my league for a lens...

    ...anyone got one they want to donate?

    Going by its wing colours, I'd say it is a Common Iora.




    Although the Green Iora has a more prominent eye ring.

    Tamron do a fairly decent Nikon mount 18-400mm lens (600mm equivalent for an ASPC sensor, which I believe your Nikon camera has). I have one and it is OK. At full zoom, the picture quality is better than my old 55-300mm Nikon lens. If you shop around, you can get a new one for a little over 17,000 baht.

    Cheers Nev, going by Google Images it seems that's the one.

    It may be a female Koel Bird. But they normally stay within the tree cover. It's a bird that is heard far more than it is seen.

    I think it's a bird Chitty saw in the UK, Warwick, so probably not a Koel.
