Another early morning (0630-0830 hrs) bash around the patch provided a few migrants, but still only small numbers:
ASIAN BROWN FLYCATCHER 1-2,
EASTERN CROWNED WARBLER 1,
BROWN SHRIKE 3. This is all getting a bit repetitive - but I guess that's what patchwatching is all about and makes those special days very, um....special! Overnight rain had again provided hopes of a fall, but failed to deliver - I'm thinking we need rain pre-dawn to force stuff down, rather than rain starting soon after dusk and going for much of the night, as has happened in the last few days.
I dedicated a block of time to trying to detect Siberian Blue Robin (now is supposed to be peak passage for them) but drew a blank. Two autumns ago I was practically falling over SBRs in Bangkok (two dead in the garden and at least two, possibly three on the patch), but I haven't seen one in the city since then - perhaps 2008 was an especially good year for them?

where you can find common residents (herons, kingfishers, barbets, doves) and passage spacebar clicker migrants, often with dedicated birdwatching towers. Mornings are best before the heat, and organized walks are available, but heading slightly outside the city
