This is the second part of my post about my recent trip to Northern Thailand. This is my 3rd times visiting Northern Thailand in January. Personally, I prefer to travel here during this period partly due to the lower temperature where I can't experience it in Singapore. Most importantly, this is also the bird migratory period. You will be able to watch resident birds as well as those came here for a short period just to get out of their even colder climate up North!
Below are some of the birds that I saw :
This is one of the very common bird - House Sparrow. I took it on a tree while we go for a toilet break at a petrol kiosk. It may be common here, but is not common in Singapore.
One of the "Must See" if visiting North Thailand - Mrs. Gould's Sunbird Sunbird! Another reason to visit North Thailand during this period is also due to the flower blooming period. Picture such as this colourful bird with Cherry Bloosom flower as background only happen once a year.
Another sunbird that can be found here is - Green Tailed Sunbird.
This is my first time seeing this Eurasian wryneck.
Mountain Bulbul usually perch quite high up the tree.
Another unusual tree crawler bird that usually stay high up the tree - Chestnut Vented Nuthatche
Not once but I saw it at 2 different locations.
Spectacled Barwing
Spot-breasted Parrotbill
Siberian Ruby Throat
Ultramarine Flycatcher
Rusty Naped Pitta
Plumbeous Water Redstart
Blue Whistling Thrush
Black-backed Forktail
I'm sure I will be backed there again next year!
