    Saving Spoonie

    There is currently a donation drive to secure land at Pak Thale, Thailand, valuable wintering grounds of Spoon-billed Sandpipers, among many other waders etc. This is taken from the BCST's facebook page: "Bird Conservation Society of Thailand (BCST) has been working on conservation of...

    Flycatcher, northeast Thailand, Dec 31, 2018

    Hi all, I'd like some ID help with a flycatcher seen at Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary, Loei province, in the northeast of Thailand, at an elevation of a little over 1400m on 31st Dec, 2018. It had an overall 'warmish' appearance, and based upon said appearance and its call, I think it is...

    Bird ID, Phu Suan Sai NP, Loei, Thailand.

    Hi all, Looking for some ID help for a bird seen in Thailand on December 18th (or at least narrowing down the possibilities). The bird was seen at the summit of Phu Suan Sai, at Phu Suan Sai National Park in Loei, north-eastern Thailand, at an elevation of around 1400m. My initial ID was a...

    Snipe 3 - Bangkok, Thailand 6/10/18

    Hi all, I need a little help with some snipes that I managed to capture some 'okay' pics of today at Lat Krabang rice paddies on the outskirts of Bangkok. I'm aware that Common, Pin-tailed, and Swinhoe's are possible, and the latter two are close to inseparable without decent pics of their...

    Squirrel IDs - Thailand

    Hi all, I'd like help with IDing these squirrels from Thailand, as I'm not really sure what they are. The first one is from the island of Koh Samed in the south-east of Thailand. The second picture is from Thalumpuk Peninsula, Nakhon Si Thammarat in the south of the country. The third (with...

    Reptile IDs - Thailand

    Hi all, I really have very little idea about reptiles, and would like some help on a few IDs from a few seen in Thailand. The first pic is a monitor from Kaeng Krachan NP. It doesn't look much like the Water Monitors I see in and around BKK, so was wondering whether it was a Clouded Monitor...

    Prinia sp. - Nam Nao NP, Thailand - June '18

    Hi all, Just looking to see whether this bird is a Brown Prinia (immature?). It was seen in grassy habitat at Nam Nao NP, Thailand, at the beginning of June this year. It was noticeably larger than the much more common Rufescent Prinias inhabiting the same area. The following day, at a...

    Warbler & raptor, Loei, Thailand

    Hi again, This warbler was seen at Phu Suan Sai NP, on April 14th - is it a Dusky? The raptor was seen flying over a provincial arboretum (April 15th), about 60km south of the Laotian border. More so than my previous raptor post, these pics are probably not all that helpful, but the bird was...

    Raptor, North-eastern Thailand, April 13th

    Hi all, This raptor was seen on my arrival at Phu Suan Sai National Park in Loei province, Thailand, near the Laotian border (13/4/18). Obviously these pics are far from great and a definite ID is not necessary; I'm mostly interested in what it may be, and why. My original ID through my bins...

    Week-long Southern Thailand Escape from Bangkok

    This is my first time writing a trip report here on Birdforum; however, I’ve read numerous trip reports on here and know that some people enjoy the ‘simple list of birds’ type of report, while others like a more inclusive report of the trip’s goings-on; this report will be the latter type. For...

    Raptors, Southern Thailand, April '18.

    Hi all, My initial thoughts on these two birds are that they are both OHBs. The first bird (first 3 pics) was seen at Krung Ching, Nakhon Si Thammarat province and my thoughts were that it is a dark morph OHB. The other bird was seen in Phatthalung province, further south. All help greatly...

    Phylloscopus Warbler ID - Southern Thailand - April 4, 2018

    Hi all, I saw this phylloc in mangroves in the southern Thai province of Nakhon Si Thammarat earlier this week. I've never birded this far south in Thailand and phyllocs give me a headache when birding in Bangkok, let alone somewhere new. The bird appears to be quite worn, and going by Robson...

    Seicercus warbler, Khao Yai NP, Thailand

    Hi all, Just looking to see whether this is a Plain-tailed Warbler. Though not visible from these pics, it appeared to have a greyish crown. Seen near the top of Khao Khieo (1291m) at Khao Yai NP, Thailand. Thanks, Ben.

    Stork(s), Bang Pu. Thailand - March 24

    Hi all, These images were taken at Bang Pu, Thailand, today, March 24th. I don't think they're of the same bird, but both birds appeared different from the Painted Storks at the site. Could it (they) possibly be a Milky Stork, or possibly a Milky-Painted hybrid, which have been recorded at...

    Bird Calls - Khao Yai NP, Thailand - March 2018

    Hi all, I have a couple of bird calls/sounds I'm interested in identifying which I have attached. Both are from forest around the beginning of Khao Khieo Rd, Khao Yai National Park Thailand from this month. The first audio file features a couple of birds. I'm not interested in the louder call...

    Raptor, Kanchanaburi, Thailand, 8/3/18

    Hi all, This smallish raptor was seen at Erawan NP, Kanchanaburi, western Thailand, this week. I'm pretty sure it's just a Crested Goshawk, but would like some expert input. It was at one staged mobbed by two other accipiters that were noticeably smaller (probably Shikras). Very noticeable...

    Gull - Bang Pu, Thailand, Feb 24

    Hi all, I saw this gull at Bang Pu, just outside Bangkok, Thailand, and was wondering whether it's a Slender-billed Gull. I know that a few individuals are often hanging around there at this time of year, but I'm not too confident with IDing gulls. This bird, however, was close to the pier...

    Kaeng Krachan (2), Thailand, Feb 17, 2018

    Hi again, I have another green pigeon from Kaeng Krachan here. I originally thought that this bird was a female wedge-tailed green pigeon because the white on the underside didn't seem to go passed the feet and onto the belly, ruling out white-bellied, but I thought I'd throw these up to see...

    Kaeng Krachan, Thailand, Feb 17, 2018

    Hi all, Just a few ID questions re: birds around km9 at Kaeng Krachan NP, Thailand. The first pic of the raptor in the tree in the early morning I initially thought was probably a Crested Serpent-eagle based on both body size and its large head, and the second pic, which is both heavily...

    Warbler, Samut Prakan, Thailand, Jan '18

    I saw this warbler at Bang Pu, Samut Prakan, just outside Bangkok in mid-January. My initial ID after watching and listening was this was a Thick-billed Warbler (which would've been the first time I'd have seen the specie here). Bill shape, lack or supercilium, warm colours on the underparts...

    Blue Flycatcher sp., Saraburi, Thailand, Jan 2017

    Hi all, Just checking to see whether this is a female Tickell's Blue FC. My thinking is because there appears to be a clear demarcation between the orange and white on the underside, especially evident in pic 3. Seen at Namtok Samlan NP, a few hours northeast of Bangkok on January 28th...

    Raptor, Khao Yai NP, Thailand - Dec 28th

    Hi all, I saw this raptor flying over the visitor's centre area of Khao Yai NP today, December 28th. I was wondering whether this is a Jerdon's Baza? Thanks, Ben.

    Wader ID, Phetchaburi, Thailand, Dec 2, 2017

    Hi all, Looking for an ID for this shorebird seen on the beach heading towards the Laem Pak Bia sandspit, Phetchaburi, Thailand. It was seen with a group of Sanderling (yes?!), and I'm guessing it is simply a Great Knot that had lost it's flock - there were hundreds of Great Knot further...
