A visit to Suan Rot Fai produced a couple of notable birds in the form of an
Intermediate Egret (not common in the centre of the city) and a party of approximately 10
Ashy Minivets (a species I strongly associate with passage migration). There also seemed to be quite a number of
Brown Shrikes around, with eight individuals seen, perhaps some migrants amongst them?
Last weekend's
Black-winged Cuckoo-shrike was still present, and gave itself up for the camera. Everything else was as to be expected, including
Chinese and Javan Pond Herons, a group of 20
Cattle Egrets with several birds attaining breeding plumage, and a couple of
Little Egrets. Passerines included at least five
Taiga Flycatchers (all in heavy moult) and three
Asian Brown Flycatchers, whilst a single
Black-naped Monarch and the two
Radde's Warblers were still present in the Secret Garden.
