0600-0800 hrs at Suan Rot Fai, after a night of extremely violent thunderstorms, and in the hope of picking up some migrants.

The main evidence of migration was a flock of 30+ Black-naped Orioles, including a number of singing males.

This oriole was busy hassling an Asian Koel.

I heard what sounded like a phyllosc, but never got onto it - call sounded like a yellow-browed, but richer and less harsh in quality (?). Wintering spp still present included 3 Asian Brown Flycatchers (no Taiga Fly), one Black-capped Kingfisher and a Brown Shrike (confusus) seen battering a large cicada into the afterlife.

Chinese Pond Heron, breeding plumage - lots of these seen today, plus one Javan.

This Indian Roller was rather upset because its barely-flying fledgeing had left the nest and was tumbling around in the trees along one of the waterways.
