News and Information on Birding Sites Throughout Thailand and the Andaman

Oriental Cuckoo -Female hepatic morph -Photo by Ian Dugdale

-Ian’s take:

A Shikra and a Chinese Sparrowhawk were seen in flight over Nai Harn area on the 5th, possibly signaling the beginning of the spring migration. A Yellow rumped Flycatcher was seen at lame Mum Nai on the same day.

One Siberian Thrush was seen At Laem Mum Nai on the 15th. Blue and White Flycatchers passing though Laem Mum Nai showed a single bird on the 20th, seven on the 221st and two on the 22nd. A Malayan Night Heron was seen at the Waterfall in Ton Sai, perhaps the only place in Phuket to see this difficult species. Other birds from Laem mum Nai were Mugimaki Flyactcher (27th), Yellow rumped Flycatcher (one bird on the 20th and two on the 27th) and an Oriental Cuckoo (27/3).

The last sighting of the wintering Common Buzzard was on the 23rd at Laem Mum Nai.
