Last Day At The Lake

I would really have difficulty leaving Thale Noi without another hour or two out on the lake. Many of the birds were as the previous visit, but there were some additions to the Trip List which are noted.

 

LARGE-BILLED CROW

PURPLE HERON

LITTLE GREBE

WHITE-RUMPED MUNIA

RUBBER TREE PLANTATION

SUGAR CANE

A real hot one today, close to 100 degrees, so sought shade for a while on this families garden seat. They quickly took me in, gave me a cold drink before phoning a friend in 'DENMARK' to interpret what I was saying. There was offer of toast and jam but a little close to breakfast but the coffee was most welcome.

CATTLE EGRET above and what might be a JAPANESE SPARROWHAWK? if it is the lettering will soon turn to red.

BAYA WEAVER's nest, I know from my trips to Africa Weaver nest shape/construction can be a guide to identification.

Now, when a bird like this lands in a tree right in front of you and looks like this you know it is your lucky day'

INDIAN ROLLER

A LIZARD awaits my return.
