Nice blog - I recently discovered it. It inspired me to bird RSF on the morning of the 20th. I saw Indian Rollers, numerous Koels, Blue-tailed Bee-eaters, 1 Taiga Fly, 2 Asian Brown Fly, 1 Thick-billed Warbler, 1 what must have been an Eastern Crowned Warbler (long, weeest call) and 1 what I think was a Pale-billed Warbler. Does this species look olive-brown on the upperparts and dirty white on the underside with a single prominent wingbar?
Anyway, I'll keep checking your blog and will bird the park again if I'm in Bangkok again.
Hi Andrew, great that you visited SRF. The Eastern Crowned would be uite an early migrant (they are passage birds in the park, but do winter in forest elewhere in Thailand), but not impossible. For "Pale-billed Warbler", perhaps you mean pale-legged Walbler? There is one wintering near my house, so defiantely possibility and your description sounds accurate for that spp. best wishes, Dave
Hi Andrew, In mid winter the only really regular phyllosc I see is YBW, but I've picked up occasional Radde's and Pale-legged. However I am finding that anything is possible at SRF so your bird could be a straggler of another spp. ECW is a good possibility - perhaps have a isten to calls on Xeno-Canto? Best wishes, Dave

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply. I did of course mean Pale-legged Warbler.
Which warblers winter in the park? The monosyllabic call isn't right for Yellow-browed or Arctic, as far as I can tell.
