    I want to say sub-adult Plain Prinia but the facial markings make that hard There are three or four facebook sited for bird IDs not where you would get your answer in minutes. For this one I old try "LBJ Lovers Thailand."

     

    Thanks AN. I got a response from Facebook and it's a moulting Thick-billed warbler confirmed by tapping sounds heard yesterday. I replayed the calls from xeno canto and the bird reappeared briefly.

  3. Been awhile since anything out of the ordinary at my yard. This morning I found this foraging on my kafir lime tree and later at the long bean trellis. Looks like a young bird but what is it? Size about 2/3 to 3/4 of the streak eared bulbul. The hint of a mustachial stripe and dark ear coverts have me baffled.

  4. Thanks for posting Crossy I too have a 4kg Chihuahua and I googled Bravecto and was taken aback by numerous reports of dogs falling I'll from it.

    I take my 2 dogs out, the other being a 30+kg German Shepherd mix and they love going off track in the wooded area I take them for their daily romp and I think that's where they pick up ticks. I am going to get me some Bravecto and see if I can at least reduce the number of ticks.

    One of my favorites. And one of the birds that got me hooked on birding when i was up in Surin. I have actually never seen one in a cage. Were they caged pet birds or "merit releases"?

    They are frequently mixed with other munia species in cages at pet shops or flea markets. My guess they are bought for release to make merit since they don't sing.

    According to what I have read, the Brahminy Kite feeds mainly on floating detritus such as dead fish. So, perhaps the injured leg is in that way less of a hindrance than it might be for an osprey, for example.

    I did see it circle and then dived a couple of times amongst the reeds/vegetation but was unable to make out what it captured or maybe it failed on those occasions.

    If you right click on your images and look for "view image info" you will see that they are much larger than 800 x 600.

    Top one is:2,048px × 1,366px (scaled to 1,284px × 856px)

    Bottom one : 769px × 1,152px

    Not familiar with software you are using.

    I export from Lightroom, long edge 1024 pix which seems to work quite well on the web.

    Hmm... for some reason my attempt to resize didn't work then. Will try again when I next post a photo.

    Anyone else with HOSP sightings are asked and welcomed to share your area, along with how common they are in your area.

    Thanks!

     

    Where I am (lower NE Isaan) house sparrows aren't exactly common but they do visit my backyard occasionally. Plain-backed can sometimes be sighted at neighbouring farmlands.

  9. Nonetheless a very crisp shot!

     

    I have a version 1 500/f4 IS sitting in my dry cabinet longing to be taken out but at my age I find it increasingly strenuous to lug this bazooka around. Instead I now prefer the light weight 400/5.6 for doing trails and a 300/2.8 for hide work.

     

    If anyone is interested please PM me for the 500/4.
