Bee-eaters!

Suan Rot Fai 0610-0815 hrs again today.  On arrival things looked promising, with a flock of 9 BLUE-TAILED BEE-EATERS high overhead, however there was actually little other evidence of newly arrived birds.  I saw a couple of other bee-eaters (including one low overhead chasing dragonflies) and heard two BROWN SHRIKES, but saw little else.  The "starling tree" still held a few DAURIAN STALINGS and I was told by a couple of other birders that a Chestnut-tailed Starling had been photographed there yesterday afternoon - so it was actually been visited by 8 sturnidae spp yesterday.
