It's bird time in Thailand again. Just getting started now, but the difference when I went out last Sunday was already very pronounced, although after the rains there's a lot of greenery in the way. I tried out my new 70-400. A little slow compared to the 300/4 but very sure.
Parakeet (I cannot find this one in my bird book - anyone recognise it? Could possibly be an import as this is shot near to Bangkok. Eyes don't seem to match any of the Thai parakeets I can find, and neither male nor female have any significant colour on the head except for the yellow/green neck ring being more pronounced on some (the male?). Ring-necked? But none of the group had pink colourations that I could see. ![]() Coucal after a bath ![]() ![]() Edited by maewpa - 07 November 2009 at 16:52 |

Great thread, as usual. I am still amazed from the Jacanas

@ar-wis:
Great shots there. I think #1 is a young Pygmy Owl. I should know for sure because owls are normally my strong-point, but I'm not totally certain of this one. #2 is a bee-eater - I think probably the Green Bee-eater. Where did you find them? |

Red head ducks "blast off". Wish I'd had a WA, there were several thousand of them. There were spooked by a pair of northern harriers.

Thanks Punkskaphil, I found them both in Malawi. The owl in the Liwonde National Park and the bee-eater in some small wildlife reserve in the South of Malawi (forgot the name of that park).
