Dear members and bird watchers!
Just back from Kanchanaburi and Ayuttaya. I have seen thousands of egrets during theses days. Huge groups in the paddies. But I spotted one Great Egret, picture #1
It is January and this Great Egret is very obviously in breeding plumage, blue face and red legs. Is this normal for January. The other birds, at least what I have seen are still in winter plumage
Bird on picture #2 was ID by me as a Richard's Pipit, but now when I go through the pictures I think the tail is very short for being a Pipit. Or is it just a strange angle off the tail so it looks short?
Kind Regards and Happy Birding
