A couple of hours in Suan Rotfai on Saturday morning where quite productive, with the
Northern Boobook still present, a female type
Siberian Rubythroat offering exceptional views, a
Peregrine stooping across the north end of the park, and a single
Black-naped Monarch.

The most confusing bird was a singing
Cinereous Tit - where the hell did that come from? A bird of mountain forests in Thailand, with all populations being sedentary. The suspicion must be that it is an escapee from the Chatuchak weekend market, but what is the possibility of it being a genuine vagrant from one of the more northerly populations during cold weather?
Other notable species seen included two
Thick-billed Warblers and a
White-rumped Sharma.

Can you provide a specific location for the Boobook and other birds mentioned? Thanks.
A location for the Boobook and Siberian Rubythroat would be great - I'll be at Suan Rot Fai on Saturday and would love to see both species,
If you look at my list of links you will find one whivh links to a map of Suan Rotfai, which markers indicating the Rubythroat location, and another marking "The Ramble", which is where the Boobook has been (roosting high up in the largest tree in the middle of the small copse there).
Thanks! Had great views of the Rubythroat, but couldn't locate the Boobook
