Little Red Cracker

This morning I walked around the rather scrappy rice paddies close to our accommodation at Assaradevi Resort to the south of Chiang Mai.

Highlights in one and a half hours included a fine male Red Avadavat carrying nesting material (with a second bird heard calling), a male Pied Harrier,  a Common Rosefinch, two Chestnut-tailed Starlings, a couple of Zitting Cisticolas, a Wire-tailed Swallow, one Thick-billed Warbler, a pair of Pied Bushchats, several Siberian Stonechats , one Indochinese Bushlark and a flock of White-rumped Munias.
