Today is Songkhran - Thai New Year and an excuse for the whole of Thailand to take an extended holiday and have a massive water fight!
I'll perhaps partake in the festivities later in the holiday, but this morning I hit Suan Rotfai early for some migrant hunting. Things started very slowly, but gradually picked up with a tally of one female
Yellow-rumped Flycatcher, two
Asian Brown Flycatchers, three
Taigas, at least three
Thick-billed Warblers, two
Brown Shrikes, at least one roving flock of roughly 15
Ashy Minivets, a lovely pair of
Forest Wagtails and best of all: a fleeting glimpse of a
Ruddy Kingfisher - a good local rarity and the second one that I have found on the patch (the other bird being on 12th April last year, on the same stretch of khlong).
