Hi there. (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone. It's literally my second day of birdwatching.....birding, not sure of the preferred term. I'm from Australia but I'm currently in Koh Samui Thailand and saw a Nicobar Pigeon, that along with my love of the movie 'The Big Year' made me decide to get into it.
I know it's a long shot but does anyone know what this is? They have never been close enough to get a decent picture with my phone but thought someone might happen to know. Thanks. Michelle.

Hi Michelle and a warm welcome from me too.

It would appear to be a bee-eater and maybe a Blue-tailed Bee-eater, though I'm not sure if there are other possibilities; so do follow the link Andy gave you for the ID forum for more assistance.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.
