Last Birding Stop Before Leaving for airport at Pak Phli

After 5 days of birding in Thailand, is time to go back to Singapore. While on our way to airport, we have about 2 hours to spare so we make a pit stop at Pak Phli.
Pak Phli
There are 2 different habitats in this area. We should be able to see open country birds.
Pak Phli, buffolo
As well as water birds since this is also a paddies field.
Red-wattled lapwing
One of the most common lapwing in Thailand is this Red-wattled lapwing. You will not miss it in any open country area.
Green bee-eater
Another common open country bird that we saw is this Green bee-eater.
Blue tailed bee-eater
Migratory Blue tailed bee-eater has also arrived here in Thailand.
Asian pied starling
Asian pied starling may not be common in Singapore, but they are very common here in Thailand.
Little Cormorant
Little Cormorant getting sunlight to help speed up the drying of the feathers.
Pond heron
Pond heron is fishing from the top of lotus leaf.
Black drongo
This Black drongo took few attempts before able to perch steadily on top of the lotus flower bud.
Black-shouldered kite
Another common bird of prey of open country is this Black-shouldered kite.
Watercock
One of the rare find of this trip will be this Watercock in breeding plumage! Can't wait to coma back to Thailand for more birding soon.
