    DaLat Flycatcher

    I see. So this used to be called the klossi form of "Blue-throated" rubeculoides, but is now the klossi form of "Hainan Blue" hainanus

    DaLat Flycatcher

    I don't see many blue flycatchers and I'm not up-to-date on nomenclature, so can you tell me the Latin name of this one? Cyornis xxxx? Maps suggest it has to be Indochinese Blue (sumatrensis) in DaLat, but does this name also cover the "old" Tickell's Blue? (I have lightened them in Photoshop...

    Nam Cat Tien, Vietnam

    I knew it would be something simple!! Here's an Ashy Drongo taken on the same day and a bit easier to identify.

    Sorting through my photos taken earlier this week, here's one I'm still struggling with

    Butterfly in VietNam (Phong Nha, C. Annam, ca 200m asl)

    Brilliant! There were males around and I didn't know the female was so different. I have bookmarked that website

    Butterfly in VietNam (Phong Nha, C. Annam, ca 200m asl)

    This is such a striking species - I just haven't been able to match it with anything on the internet!

    Nghe An, northern Vietnam

    I think these 2 photos are the same bird. It looks like a Barwinged Flycatcher-shrike, except for the white OVER the eye, so what is it???

    Flycatcher in Da Lat Vietnam

    Thank you all - I've seen males in the same area

    Flycatcher in Da Lat Vietnam

    Is this an ordinary Asian Brown? It looks a bit dark.

    Bird in Da Lat Vietnam last week

    I suppose the white in the flight feathers is a bit of a giveaway!

    Bird in Da Lat Vietnam last week

    I've been looking for a bird with black streaks on its face!! You think they are just shadows? That would explain it.

    Bird in Da Lat Vietnam last week

    Here it is. About the size of a Sibia.

    Thrush in DaLat, Vietnam

    We've had the Rock Thrush in the garden for a while (picture with white throat attached), but I was mislead by the video into thinking this one was a much larger bird. PS, Andy - a male was still there at Ta Nung on Dec 9th

    Thrush in DaLat, Vietnam

    Trying for a better video but No - still the same incomplete video

    Thrush in DaLat, Vietnam

    I'm guessing this is a White's Thrush rather than a Scaly Thrush because of the indistinct black cheek patch. Is that right? Is there an easier way to tell the difference? THE VIDEO DOES NOT SEEM TO UPLOAD PROPERLY (bird is "frozen" at the 9th second out of 10 seconds)

    Flycatcher in Da Lat (Vietnam)

    Ah, yes - I see what you mean. I thought it had an eye-ring, but perhaps it doesn't. There's certainly a trace of the double wing-bar and Mugimaki's are very common here, though the pink chest is usually even more obvious. I should have got that one!

    Flycatcher in Da Lat (Vietnam)

    Is this just an Asian Brown? I'm not sure what to make of that trace of red on the neck.

    Pipits in VietNam (South Annam)

    So large size and long legs are not enough! Thank you all for the help.

    Pipits in VietNam (South Annam)

    Do you mean that the lores are darker on A and B, compared with C? I can see that's true, looking closely, and it is mentioned in my bird guide, so I should have looked for it. Is that a more reliable guide than the sharpness of the throat spots and the overall size of the bird (A and B were...

    Pipits in VietNam (South Annam)

    Can you help me with these 3 Pipits? I saw A and B together on rice stubble this week and A was obviously bigger with ridiculously long legs. Is A Richards and B Paddyfield? The difference in the throat streaking is very obvious. Photo C was taken on the coast of VietNam today and superficially...

    Ducks in VietNam

    Perhaps more than just a "vagrant" to C. Annam, then. A long way south of its normal range in the bird guides

    Ducks in VietNam

    Can anyone ID these ducks on a large sea lake in central VietNam (Lake Tra O)? Nearly a mile away so lots of zoom.

    North VietNam Warbler

    It's what I thought since I've photographed them before in the same region (near SaPa) and similar open habitat, but (as you know) I'm no expert.

    North VietNam Warbler

    What's this warbler at Mu Cang Chai?

    Best Birding Bridge Camera

    I got a P1000 a few weeks ago (UK£1000) and am very happy with it. The weight is tolerable. The power zoom does not seem to run down the battery too much and I like the fact that the lens ring can be used to adjust the aperture at the last moment to get the exposure right. This distant Leach's...
