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. 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." 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much a daily occurrence here. They come in and land on the ground and when they depart...up to the wire for a look-see, or visa versa. I said "not often" not "never." Nearly all ground feeders will take to a tree or wire occasionally, especially when encountering the most dangerous species of all, homo sapiens. But the comment was in regards to what you'd ID's as a probably pipit but was one of the _larks, which are often perched on wires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I replayed the calls from xeno canto and the bird reappeared briefly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AjarnNorth 706 #1103 Posted April 13, 2019 Cool. Yes, that bill was bothering me as well for prinia. Thick-billed it is. Those facebook sites are gold for tough IDs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Went to have a look at the nest in the helmet yesterday (they use the same nest and work on it before laying eggs) and was gutted to find that the nest has been raided for its materials and dismantled - its almost gone - it was in tact last time I looked a fortnight back. Have to assume its the same pair of Yellow-vented Bulbuls, and maybe as they have not been successful rearing they have decided to move the nest location. Hope to see where they have moved to.

Skeptic7 4,164 #1109 Posted June 3, 2019 Yellow-bellied Prinia. Good vid for the back of the bird AND if you want to hear/learn it's repetitive song. More melodious than Plain Prinia, but still gets monotonous after a while. 00002_Trim.mp4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AjarnNorth 706 #1110 Posted June 8, 2019 Found by a friend of a friend in some reeds near a pool in Bangkok. ID anyone? Fledglings are never easy to ID. Odd bill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
