Back in Bkk and so did SRF this morning, for the first time in almost a month, due mainly to the distraction caused by the floods. I am not sure for how long SRF was flooded, but from seeing it today it is obvious that flooding was extensive and has caused a lot of damage, with many areas of grassland now dead, and a putrid smell throughout the park. Most distressingly, one of my favourite trees in the park, a large and dense fig that has played host to many good passerine migrants (including this autumn's Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher) has succumbed to the flood, its sodden root system overwhelmed and the tree falling. Still it's a small price to pay compared with what has happened elsewhere (the human death toll from the floods is now more than six hundred).
Birding produced a new patch bird in the shape of a
Spangled Drongo, seen a couple of time perched low-down, and moving about in rather a lethargic manner, plus a
Black Drongo and two
Ashy Drongos.
Taiga Flies amounted to about 10 birds,
Asian Brown Fly two, 1-2
Black-naped Monarch and four Yellow-browed Warblers.

Spangled Drongo - note the square tail (not forked),
with up-turned corners and long, tapering bill. |

This enlargement shows the long, thin plumes that give this species
the alternative name of "Hair-crested Drongo" |
